I read this book before the pandemic maybe in 2018 or early 2019 and was moved by the story. I have been trying to find the prequel but to no avail. I will continue to search for the book.

What a wonderful book full of stories surrounding a wonderful large home for Nuns that took care of so many children throughout the years. It centres mainly around one girl, Nancy, who grew up in the home but stayed on to look after the children in the Orphanage/home. It is such a heart warming story of a phenomenal woman who had such a huge heart and who clearly loved children. I had moments of tears throughout but it is a wonderful book.

The front cover isn't the best in my opinion but it suggests that it's a book talking about children.
Unfortunately, I really struggled to get into this book, I found the writing style difficult and it didn't have much punch to it.
I have to say I was rather bores reading this book and couldn't finish it.
