Description
Jim Jarvis's life changed forever when his mother died. With no one to turn to, he was sent to the workhouse in London. But Jim had other plans. He escaped and chose a hard but free life on the streets of the city.
Struggling to survive, Jim eventually found some friends who shared his determination to make it through each day. However, their lives took a dark turn when they were forced into working for Grimy Nick, a man with no qualms about treating others cruelly. Snipe, his vicious dog, was always by his side.
Will Jim ever manage to be free from the hardships of his life? This heart-wrenching tale tells the story of an orphan's struggle to survive in Victorian London and the people who helped shape his fate.
