The Yard Girl

Sienna Millan has known grave hardship. Growing up in the small seaside Jamaican village, her family, although highly revered for their noted integrity and wisdom spanning generations, were piteously poor, often relying upon meagre handouts from "just about better off" neighbours to survive. When she turned 17 heaven smiled upon her and she won a scholarship to study in London. Soon she finds herself all alone in a foreign land, living in a big city where she faces unexpected danger. Through adversity she comes to rely upon new found friends who become more like a surrogate family. But unbeknown to Sienna her friends harbour secrets and some have secrets so dark that they are better left un-shared.
