An Orphan's Christmas

Liverpool, 1936. Molly Penelope Hardwick has been abandoned in Haisborough Orphanage. Desperate to discover her background, she befriends another orphan, Lenny Smith. Together they sneak out to roam the city of Liverpool, and hatch plans for their escape.

But when Molly is forced to leave the orphanage, Lenny has no idea where she’s gone. And when war is declared, he soon forgets about his childhood best pal to focus on his posting with the RAF in Scrimpton.

What Lenny doesn’t know is that Molly is desperate to join the war effort, and with her sights set on joining the WAAF, chances are they will see each other again.

But will things ever be the same after all this time?

Reviews

A relaxing, easy read, with lots of twists and turns, lively characters and enough detail to give a flavour of wartime without slowing the story down. A welcome in many a Christmas stocking for sure.

—— Frost Magazine

A winter warmer of a novel that moves along at a brisk pace. *****

—— People’s Friend

Sister at War is a wonderful book. A hard to put down book which fills the soul.

—— Frost Magazine

Brilliant historical fiction. Engrossing and riveting

—— Frost Magazine

Funny, wry, touching . . . the drama is raw and real. Each of the beautifully drawn characters is so vividly alive

—— Australian Women's Weekly

Three Wishes feels firmly set in the real world, where trivial domestic details, biting pain and sudden joy regularly overlap

—— Telegraph

Every single one of her books is a great read
