Summary
1888: In the East End of London, things are difficult for young Lottie and her family. Her father has just passed away, and having fallen out with Lottie's rich aunt, her mother cannot appeal to her for help. Nowadays they have to make do and mend: with four younger siblings, there are six mouths to feed, and money is tight. Lottie ought to have soft hands like a lady, but they are chapped and sore, for conditions at the match factory where she works are dire. The girls get treated badly by the management, and there is a severe risk to their health. But then a young journalist, Annie Besant, begins asking questions. Will Lottie and the other girls welcome her help, even when it could cost them their jobs - and their livelihoods?
