Orphanage Girls eBook

A gripping tale of friendship, motherhood and courage - three orphan girls dare to dream of a better life beyond the confines of their East London orphanage.

Ruth longs for a life far away from the horrors within the walls of Bethnal Green''s infamous orphanage. With her friends Amy and Ellen by her side, she plots her escape, but the suffering only worsens. Desperate for freedom, Ruth breaks free and sets out into the gritty streets of East London, hoping to make a new life for herself. But for a girl with nowhere to turn, life on the outside proves just as tough.

Bett, who keeps order in this unruly part of the East End, takes Ruth and fellow orphanage escapee Robbie under her wing. But it is the kindly Rebekah who offers them a true home - something neither have ever known. Yet even these stalwart women cannot protect them when the police learn of an orphan on the run. Ruth must do everything in her power to hide, for her life - and the lives of the friends she left behind at the orphanage - depend on it.
