The Orphan's Christmas Dream: Victorian Romance
Dorothy Wellings
When tragedy claims both her parents to consumption, nine-year-old Adelaide Grey loses everything—her home, her security, her entire world. Left with nothing but a single cherished book, she finds unexpected sanctuary with Thomas Radcliffe, her late father's dear friend and proprietor of a beloved bookshop on Paternoster Row.
Among the towering shelves and leather-bound treasures of Radcliffe's Books, Adelaide discovers not only a home but a purpose. Yet fate has more trials in store for the young woman, and she soon finds herself facing London's harsh realities with nothing but her education, her integrity, and an unwavering love of learning to sustain her.
When James Thornton, a principled young barrister notices the refined girl whose circumstances have grown desperate, he offers something Adelaide thought lost forever—hope. But can she dare to believe that justice might prevail? That kindness still exists in a world that has shown her such cruelty?
As Adelaide fights to reclaim what was stolen and rebuild what was lost, she must learn to trust again—in the law, in friendship, and perhaps in something deeper still.
Will Adelaide discover that her strength of character can overcome even the cruelest circumstances? Can two people united by books and a passion for justice find they share something even more precious?
Journey with Adelaide through her remarkable transformation from devastating loss to hard-won triumph in this enchanting novel about a young woman whose quiet courage and steadfast spirit prove that where we begin matters far less than who we choose to become.
