Official synopsis Publisher
Lose yourself in this powerful historical novel based on a real life tragedy from the internationally bestselling author Lesley Pearse
For one girl, betrayal goes hand in hand with trust . . .
When their father tragically kills their mother, Dulcie and her sister are sent to an orphanage. Told that a ‘better life’ awaits them in another country, they are shipped off to Australia.
But the promises made turn out to be lies.
And it seems to Dulcie that everyone who ever said ‘trust me’ somehow betrayed that trust. So when she finds a kindred spirit in Ross, another orphanage survivor, hope swells in her heart.
But can she ever get over the past betrayals and learn to trust again?
And can she fight not only for herself, but also for her sister?
