Description

Amelia's future hangs by a thread as she navigates the harsh realities of her life. After losing her mother, she is forced to sell the last of her possessions to avoid being cast out onto London's streets. However, an unexpected inheritance from her estranged grandfather offers a glimmer of hope. With a small, struggling factory making mourning dresses at her disposal, Amelia dares to dream of creating elegant gowns from fine silks and beautiful ribbons for the rich. As winter sets in, she must balance her desire for a better life with the harsh realities of her circumstances. Drawing sketches by candlelight, Amelia longs to bring beauty and dignity to those who have lost loved ones. Will she be able to keep her hopes alive amidst the cold and darkness?
