The Bookbinder's Orphan Daughter: Victorian Romance
Dorothy Wellings
Young Meredith Aldrich's world crumbles when consumption claims her beloved mother and skilled bookbinder father in quick succession. Cast onto London's merciless streets, she carries nothing but her father's prized bookbinding tools and the memory of their craft. When a desperate attempt to find shelter leads her to break into a prestigious house, her life takes an unexpected turn.
Instead of punishment, she finds sanctuary as a maid in the household. But not everyone welcomes this unusual arrangement. As Meredith navigates her new life, she finds herself drawn into a world of books, learning, and unexpected friendships - including with Philip Ashworth, Lord Thornfield's handsome nephew.
When her past on the streets threatens to destroy everything she's built, Meredith must decide whether to retreat into safety or stand firm in defence of her place in this new world. Can a girl born into trade dare to dream of a future among the nobility? And will her love of craft be enough to bridge the chasm between their two worlds?
Follow Meredith's journey from the humble bookbinding workshop of Paternoster Row to the grand halls of the Thornfield estate in this unforgettable story of a young woman who dares to bind together the torn pages of her own destiny!
