One orphan’s heart finds hope at Christmas.
In the soot-stained streets of industrial Manchester, young orphan Linda Stiles has known only hardship and loss. Torn from her family and raised within the icy walls of a workhouse, she clings to a single promise—to build a better life for her ailing brother.
Sent to labor in Brockhurst’s Mill, Linda’s strength and courage are tested daily amid the grinding machinery and unrelenting cruelty. Yet even in the darkest winter, a flicker of hope remains.
Henry Wilkinson, a compassionate junior clerk, risks his position to help her. A forbidden friendship blossoms into something deeper. But love between them could destroy everything they hold dear.
As Christmas nears, and the mill’s shadows grow longer, Linda must decide whether to guard her heart—or trust it to a love that could finally lead her home.
An Orphan's Christmas Hope is a tender Christmas Victorian Romance saga of courage, faith, and redemption.
