Publisher Description:
Two worlds collide when Poppy, a street orphan who makes a living by stealing, and Justin, the son of a jeweler who wants to prove his worth, meet and become friends. Poppy plans to change her thieving ways, but when Justin loses money at his father's jewelry store and Poppy is accused of stealing it, she flees back onto the streets. Justin insists on searching for her--just as the Great Chicago Fire of 1871 breaks out.

Alternately narrated by Poppy and Justin, this is a gripping story of right and wrong, trust and forgiveness, and finding hope in the ashes of destruction.
