The Orphan’s Christmas

by Molly Britton

Abby is twelve years old when tragedy strikes a few weeks before Christmas. Soon after, Abby and her mother find themselves out on the streets in the bitter cold. But the heartache has only begun, and each Christmas brings cruel twists of fate that change Abby's life forever. The factory job Abby thought would save her sends her running for her life. When she can run no more and collapses on the street, she is taken in by Lucas, a man she wants to trust but can't. She accepts the job he offers, buying time until she can escape. But freedom costs Abby many things, and her heart cannot stop thinking of Lucas. As Abby accepts her hopeless plight in life, Christmas approaches, a time of deep sadness for Abby. But an unexpected meeting brings hope to Abby, if only briefly. Can Abby find happiness amidst all the sorrow in her life? What has become of Lucas, the only man who showed kindness to her?

So sweet

Abby is alone after her mom dies. A very mean guy offers her a job. He is abusive so she stops trusting people, mainly MEN. When she runs away and Lucas finds her and saves her she has hard time trusting. She runs again. Read to find the happy ending.

Hardship

Hardship in London was awful for orphans, but when you come across someone wealthy and they share what they have, it makes the whole world look like a better place to live. I enjoyed this book tremendously.
