A desperate, desolate mother makes a split decision, one that has a devastating, life changing effect.
When Edith leaves her little baby girl and 3-year old son out in the cold, snowy street for just a minute, she never thinks for one moment that it will tear her family apart. William tries his best to keep his little sister warm, but soon, the baby's cries go quiet, and it seems nature takes it's course.
When a poor market girl, Glenda, stumbles upon the little children, she simply can't turn her back on what is in front of her. Even so, she makes a decision that she will regret for the rest of her life. Trying to revive the little girl, she leaves the boy behind, only to carry the guilt of her decision for ever more.
A broken mother, a guilt-ridden carer, and a little girl who has no idea that she once had a brother. But that is not the only cross that little Holly has to bear...
Will this little girl ever find happiness? A family she can call her own? Or will her only 'gifts' for evermore be that of abandonment and grief?
