Description
Sadie Smith's life was forever changed when she was sent to a Dr Barnardo's home for treatment after being born with a degenerative hip. Despite her initial excitement, she soon came to realise that she would never see her family again.
Years later, Sadie is given the opportunity of a lifetime: to start anew in Canada. However, her new life at the Trikhardts' farm proves far from perfect. It's here that she finds solace in the scarlet ribbons her mother gave her and forms a close bond with fellow orphan Robbie.
As Sadie navigates her way through various careers and challenges, including working as a parlourmaid and eventually becoming a pilot for Britain's Air Transport Auxiliary, she must draw on her courage and strength to find lasting happiness. A determined struggle unfolds in this heartwarming tale of resilience and perseverance.
