The Winter Orphan

Description

A heartbreaking story of one child’s courage, from the bestselling author of The Orphan’s of Halfpenny Street. Ella has never known love.

When she is sold as a scullery maid to a new home, Ella hopes for a better life. But her hopes are dashed as she struggles to do all the work heaped on her thin shoulders by her brutish master. Daring to escape her harsh treatment, it isn’t long before she is caught and once again finds herself at the mercy of an uncaring world. Can Ella resist giving in to despair and somehow to find the strength to carry on alone… Review: Reccomend to others. - I like this author. I really felt drawn into the book. It was quite an easy read. I have read a few books in this orphan series. They are all interesting. Review: Its a great book that will grab you from the start - Was gripped from the 1st chapter. Ots a book you would want to snuggle into a comfy chair and get lost in our heroines trials and see her move on from a child to a strong woman. Loved it
