Description
Winter's Daughter is a powerful and moving historical novel about a young child separated from her mother, and the family who bring her in from the cold. In 1856, Hull is hit by a devastating flood, and among those rescued is a dark-haired little girl who speaks a language no one can understand.
As James Ripley and his wife Moira try to care for the child, they must confront the harsh realities of poverty and homelessness in their community. But as they struggle to find the child's mother, they begin to realize that kindness and compassion can be the greatest acts of courage.
This stunning new story from Val Wood is a heart-warming tale of family, love, and the importance of looking out for one another. With its fully developed characters and compelling story, it's a great choice for anyone looking for a moving and thought-provoking read.
