The Orphan's Promise

The heart-rending first novel in a brand-new series from the author of Rosie's Dilemma and The Coal Miner's Wife
1911. Wiltshire. A young orphan promises to find out the truth about her mother.

Abandoned as a small child, Sally Brown was raised by a rector and his wife. She loves her adopted parents dearly, but longs to know why her mother gave her up.

When the formidable Harriet Fforde offers Sally a position at Littleford House, assisting with research into her family history, Sally is nervous but excited. Soon she's settled in - and has caught the eye of Jack Price, a charming local man who seems almost too good to be true.

But Harriet Fforde is mean-spirited, while her brother Wilfred seems unnerved by Sally's presence. And Littleford House is curiously familiar to Sally, as though she remembers it from a dream . . .

What secrets are the Ffordes keeping? Could Sally's mother still be alive? And, if so, might Sally's determination put them both in terrible danger?
