Christmas for the Halfpenny Orphans - Cathy Sharp

Abandoned by their abusive father, twin sisters Sarah and Samantha are left to fend for themselves.

Discovered living rough, they are placed in the safe care of St Saviour’s Children’s Home. But Sarah has learning difficulties and. with little hope of a loving family to lake her in, seems doomed to be separated from her sister. The staff, particularly Angela Morton, are worried the separation could have drastic consequences

Alice Manning, one of the carers, finds her own happiness under threat when a face from the past reappears. Jack Shaw, East End bad boy, is determined to get back his girl. Now married to Bob and with a young baby to care for, is Alice really about to throw everything away?

When sickness strikes and Angela is forced to manage the home on her own, the tensions mount. With more than one orphan in urgent need, will St Saviour’s be able to give the children the Happy Christmas that they all so desperately deserve?
