Fallen Angels — Valerie Wood / Val Wood

In the hardest of times, can their dreams ever come true?

After her devious husband Billy tries to sell her at a wife sale, Lily Fowler finds herself alone, frightened and heavily pregnant on the streets of Hull.

Running out of options when even the workhouse turns her away, Lily is forced to swallow what little pride she has left and accept work in a once-grand mansion in Leadenhall Square â€" now a brothel.

Unexpectedly, she soon forges a strong bond with the group of people she finds there, all good-hearted women who have simply fallen on hard times. Seeing potential where others see only destitution, Lily and her ‘fallen angels' join forces to outwit the low-life brothel-keeper.

In working to transform the house in Leadenhall Square into something more respectable, doors to new opportunities are opened and lost loves are rekindled.

Can the happy endings the fallen angels never dared to dream of finally come true?
