Let bestselling author Lindsey Hutchinson transport you back in time to Marshall’s Children’s Home, for this heart-warming and unforgettable tale from the Black Country.
The Fitch children are finally safe, after they and their friends were rescued from the grim orphanage Reed House by Minnie and Billy Marshall. Their children’s home Marshall’s is full of love and laughter, and a world away from their terrible ordeal of being sold to Una Reed for five shillings.
There are many more children who still need a home, especially in a world where the workhouse is the last option for desperate families, and so Minnie makes it her mission to build Marshall’s into a refuge for all the waifs and strays.
But kind hearts can be taken advantage of, and before long, Marshall’s in under attack. Can Minnie and Billy keep their family together and keep all the children safe, or will they be torn apart again?
The Queen of the Black Country sagas is back with a heart-warming, unputdownable and unforgettable tale of triumph against the odds. Perfect for fans of Val Wood and Lyn Andrews.
Welcome to the Minnie’s Orphans Blog Tour!
Before this book, I’d never heard of this author. And now, after having read this delightful book, I’m feeling the need to check out all of Lindsey Hutchinson’s books!
As someone who has a heart for children, this book touched me on so many levels. I love the way the characters in this book came together and made a home for children in need. I know this is fiction, but it really warmed my heart to read about this couple taking care of children, many of whom, were treated so poorly.
Lindsey Hutchinson is a talented story-teller, who evokes emotions and sucks the reader into her story.
I’m fairly certain there are more books in this series, but I wasn’t at all lost for not having read any of the previous books.
It’s such a great feeling when you read a book by an author that’s new to you and you discover a potential new favorite. I love it!
