For fans of Kristin Harmel and Martha Hall Kelly's Lilac Girls -- the bestselling author of The Piano Maker returns with a vivid, atmospheric, and deeply moving novel set during the final months of the Second World War. London, 1944/45 Kate Henderson is an energetic and spirited young woman. As a trained paramedic and ambulance driver she does her work courageously and with determination, even though underneath she is still wrestling with grief after witnessing the shooting death of her diplomat father seven years earlier. Her father’s murder was never properly investigated and it remains unsolved. Kate’s life is interrupted once more when she wakes up one night to the sound of the air raid alarm and the terror whistles of a bomb’s stabilizers screaming toward the roof of her house. Kate survives, but she is injured. Her house is gone as well, and after her time in the hospital, Claire Giroux, a kind doctor and family friend, invites Kate to live with her as she recuperates. This arrangement works well for them until a few months later when Claire’s husband comes home from the war. Within days the lives of both women are drastically altered, and events are set in motion, both in England and in Canada, that challenge Kate and Claire to their limits. The Orphan Girl is a moving and powerful story about friendship and courage, and about promises made and kept.

Excerpt from The Orphan Girls: A Tale of Southern Life She was clothed in a plain black dress, and, as she advanced, was evidently weeping violently, with her face hidden in her hands. The vendor ordered her to look up. She obeyed him with a shudder, and gazed around. She was young and fair, but pale; and her eyes were swollen with weeping. Pallid and tottering, she stood before the multitude, who hushed their conversation, struck by her exceeding beauty. Another moment, and a universal murmur arose from the assembly, as they looked upon her in wonder and curiosity. She trembled violently, and then her countenance exhibited the most intense mental anguish, as she stood the inspection of the crowd of upturned faces; and several times she seemed on the point of crying out with concealed agony. Surprise rooted the multitude to the spot; they knew not what to think; yet there was the owner, a heavy, thickset man, with a ferocious countenance and a glaring eye, which seemed to exercise a basilisk influence over the poor girl, who, every now and then, stole a glance of terror toward him. She was unlike a slave; yet there was her master, (she did not deny him), the vendor; and, above all, there was the pure, rich olive complexion of the quadroon. She is a slave, and is here for sale, for she denies it not. Yet she is lighter in color than the Indian Quadroons. Still she is a slave. Bids were now tendered, reservedly at first, but they increased in spirit until the competition became general. The amount increased until it was enormous. The poor girl turned a supplicating look around; her eyes met those of our friend, who had been drawn up to the stand by the excitement.

"In 1940, facing lies and estrangement with her only child, a widow is nagged by memories as to why her father, Civil War Marine Charles Brother, gave her matchsticks when he surrendered his girls to the Davenport Orphanage in his hometown of Bath, New York. While under the confinement of the regimental curriculum of the 1890s, the girls experienced quality training, having no use for matches outside of the kitchen. But it always bothered her: What was the plan for the matches? What was she supposed to set ablaze? In 1887, facing reverses in Iowa, a Marine gives up his children, knowing well the risks of exposing them to indoctrination. At the last moment, he asks his middle child, Fannie, the only fighter in the bunch, to carry the torch for truth. But in her fit of rage over his last betrayal and her tendency for unrestraint, would she even hear his final instructions?"--Back cover.

Will she discover the secret of her past? 1901, West Yorkshire. When Eli Simmonite takes in a heavily pregnant woman fleeing from peril, he feels sure no good will come of it. After all, settled folk don't need much reason to take against the travellers, so having one seek safety amongst his people is unheard of. When danger comes knocking they leave devastation and a newborn child in their wake. Eli is left with the baby girl and his orphaned grandson; a reminder of the offer of aid that cost him his family. With no kin but the adopted family who hold her responsible for their demise, this girl named Rosie Nobody is filled with questions of her past. But with war looming in all of their futures, questions must be put aside: survival is the key. A compelling and beautifully written historical WWI saga of family secrets and triumph in the face of adversity. Perfect for fans of Dilly Court and AnneMarie Brear. Readers love The Orphan Girl!
