Description
Sarah, a newborn baby found in the snow, is taken to Meadow Hall in Yorkshire, where she's raised as a scullery maid. At 14, Sarah decides to run away, disguising herself as a boy and meeting Aidan and Danby, forming an unlikely trio. When her true identity is revealed, Aidan reluctantly takes her to the workhouse, intending to rescue her later. However, something keeps him from his promise. Years pass, and Sarah reunites with Aidan and Danby as adults, but now they're strangers. She holds a secret about their past, including an unborn child. As she navigates this new reality, Sarah must decide what's right for her baby, even if it means losing the love of her life. A poignant story of love, loyalty, and self-discovery, The Orphan Child explores the complexities of relationships and the power of secrets to shape our lives.
