Description
The Tulip Girl by Margaret Dickinson is a powerful and moving saga about true love in the face of adversity. Born outside an orphanage, Maddie March has had to fight her way through life, but finds a fresh start at Few Farm with Frank Brackenbury and his household. Life on the farm is hard work, but Maddie's newfound happiness is tempered by the animosity of the housekeeper, Mrs Trowbridge. However, when she meets Michael, the farmer's son, she begins to feel truly loved for the first time in her life. But as 1947 brings harsh winter and devastating storms, the farm's livelihood is threatened, and Maddie must come up with a plan to save them from poverty. As the situation becomes increasingly desperate, Maddie discovers an unexpected secret that will change everything - she is pregnant.
