In case you couldn't tell, I meant social classes in the title. (Sorry for not making that clearer.) In 18th century England, Violet Ardley is trying to figure out life as a gentleman's daughter. She has never understood why people should be treated differently based on who their parents are. Nick Yearly is an idealistic chimney sweep living with the reality of poverty among the rich. He looks out for the other kids, trying to keep everyone safe. What will happen when he meets a kind, thoughtful young lady in the elite class? This is not a lighthearted Mary-Poppins type of chimney sweep. This is the stark reality of children sold into apprenticeship, dying because of neglect and malnutrition. These are young boys forced into narrow chimneys, who may suffocate under soot. Just a heads up :)

-Let's just stay here forever- Alice Clarke lives in a dingy flat in London with her Dad until something changes.Her Dad is killed. She is sent to a home for minors who have gone through trauma. She is silent, blaming herself until she meets Fergus, a Scottish boy filled with energy. He teaches Alice how to be young while she can. But how can Alice stay in such a small town with only Fergus keeping her afloat? She can't possibly let their friendship become more- not when her Dad's just died. Trapped inside her own thoughts, Alice has to face the inevitable truth that she won't be young and with Fergus for long. Not when she leaves. *Any comments and critique and/or corrections are really appreciated* Thank you so much for reading! xx
