After being sent to Haddon Workhouse, Ginnie must grow up quickly, earning her keep by caring for other children with no families of their own.

Years later, when Ginnie reunites with Sam, now a young man fighting in World War I, she must confront the uncertainty that lies ahead. This beautiful read will tug at your heart-strings as it explores themes of hope, friendship, and the power of love to overcome even the darkest of times.
