Hope blooms from hardship.
When six-year-old Ada Montgomery loses her mother to illness, she’s thrust into the cold, unfeeling world of a Victorian orphanage.
Life behind its iron gates is harsh—beatings, endless chores, and hunger are her daily reality.
Yet even in the darkest corners of London, Ada refuses to let her spirit die. She clings to small kindnesses from her friends Nell and Tommy and a compassionate kitchen maid who helps her dream of something better.
Years later, working in a foul tannery, Ada’s courage is tested again when she risks her life to save a stranger, James Clarkson—an act that sets in motion a chain of events that could change her future forever.
The Orphan’s Silent Dream is a deeply moving Victorian saga of loss, friendship, and hope—a story of a young girl’s struggle to rise above poverty and cruelty in her search for belonging and love.
