The heartbreaking new novel from the author of An Orphan’s Wish.
Having recently arrived in England, abandoned by her father and brother, Isabella is left to look after her dying mother in an abandoned house. When the worst happens, she suddenly finds herself alone in a strange country, forced to seek out help from strangers in the nearby town.
Sarah doesn’t know what to do with the poor little girl she’s found, orphaned and afraid, except bring her back to Hilda House where they can stay together. But when she discovers the girl’s connection to Wolsingham, Sarah knows she’ll do whatever it takes to keep Isabella safe from the tragedy of her family’s past.
As the lives of the townspeople become increasingly entwined, will they find a way to come together? Or will they fall apart under the past that haunts them all?
