	My prompt was ghost story/forensic pathologist/infatuation. I love my title, The Soles that Survive, but I didn't have time to write a synopsis that did it for me.... "Forensic pathologist, Alexandre Dalca becomes infatuated with the haunting memory of a child he meets in the rain. He spends years searching for her and finds his life forever changed."

	The title is a placeholder that I didn't give myself time to improve...And I'm not so hot on the synopsis though it does sum it up. Oh my boring, trite historical incarceration story. Group 124: Historical fiction - Incarceration - Geologist School for the Children of the Prisoners In Regency London, the reform of Newgate Prison forces a talented girl thief to choose between habit and responsibility.
