Description

Dora's life is turned upside down after her mother's death, forcing her to navigate a difficult and unfair world. As a mixed-race orphan, she faces prejudice and mistreatment from her step-mother and half-siblings. With no clear future ahead, Dora finds herself on the streets and pregnant. Sent to the local workhouse, Dora's prospects seem bleak. Yet, she holds onto her dream of becoming a nurse, inspired by her mother's herbal remedies. Can a girl from a workhouse ever achieve her goals, or will the harsh realities of her life hold her back? Holly Green's powerful novel explores the challenges faced by women in the 19th century, and the resilience of the human spirit in the face of adversity.
