Discover the captivating Workhouse to War trilogy by Kay Brellend, a new saga series set in the historic Whitechapel Union workhouse in East London, spanning from 1904 to 1916.
Christmas Eve, 1909. Eleven-year-old Lily Larkin finds herself alone and abandoned in an East London workhouse, left to fend for herself after her mother's untimely passing. Her future appears bleak, with the separation from her twin brother, Davy, shattering her childhood dreams. However, Lily's indomitable spirit and the unwavering support of her newfound friends enable her to endure the harsh realities of life at South Grove Workhouse, under the watchful eye of its cruel supervisor, Miss Fox.
When a dashing, well-dressed gentleman arrives at the workhouse, claiming to be her cousin and offering employment, Lily seizes the opportunity to escape the confines of her miserable existence. However, her new job is far from ideal, and her reunion with her brother is not what she had anticipated. Nevertheless, she relishes her newfound freedom from the workhouse and embraces the challenges of womanhood, determined to forge a new path for herself.
Until a shocking secret from her past is unearthed, throwing everything she had ever believed about herself into confusion. Will Lily be able to rise above her past and overcome the obstacles that lie ahead?
