About this audiobook

1930, London Theatre Land. Charley has grown up behind the curtain in London's West End; she has even begun taking a turn on stage. But her dreams of being a performer are shattered when she is sent off to boarding school, a place where the girls are forced to do unpaid work in order to fill the pockets of the owners. When she discovers that her theatre home is in peril, Charley decides to escape, and make a dangerous journey along the coast in order to get back to – and save – all that she loves.
