I absolutely love this book!

This was such a good book little baby Emma was left is a newborn in the cemetery next to a church and thank God she was because every Christmas Eve Ms. Mayberry and her mother would go visit her father‘s grave to show their love and respect for him. On this night they heard a baby cry and took little Emma home she called Miss Mayberry aunt and her mother grandma and unfortunately grandma died and when Emma was 16 so did aunt who was the only mother she ever knew . Thanks to her unscrupulous lawyer she had no place to stay and was very sick on the London Street what a Conelly woman took her in I mean a “kindly“ woman took around, only to find out she was a prisoner and would soon be shipped off to a country far away but who knows what. There is so much of the story I cannot say is it would roll in it and it is so good. It’s not long, but very very good! Kate Anderson does a great job this story reminds me of Faye Godwin stories, but it’s written by Dolly price and I can’t wait to read more books by her. I highly recommend this book.
