The Orphan, Jennie Clarke

By Dottie Sinclair and Catharine Dobbs

A forbidden romance born of sorrow and hope.

After the tragic loss of her parents, young Jennie Clarke is torn from the only family she has left-her younger brother-and forced into a harsh new life. Sent to live in a workhouse under a cruel and domineering foreman, Jennie clings to hope, secretly reading by candlelight and dreaming of reuniting with her brother.

Then she meets Byron Harrison, the kind-hearted son of a local wealthy mill owner.

With his gentle encouragement, Jennie feels something she thought she'd lost forever-joy.

As their friendship deepens into something more, Jennie dares to imagine a future beyond soot and sorrow.

But the past has claws. Just as happiness feels within reach, a haunting secret resurfaces-one that could destroy everything. To protect Byron, Jennie must make an unthinkable sacrifice.

Society sees her as nothing more than a mill girl, unworthy of love or a better life.

Yet Jennie has tasted hope, something she's no longer willing to let slip away without a fight.
