'An affecting family mystery . . . Fascinating' Sunday Times London. A woman stands before a panel of governors and begs them to take her child and save her from disgrace. San Francisco. Decades later, a teenage girl finds her glamorous mother sitting alone in the dark, scribbling a name she has never seen before: Dorothy Soames. Atlanta. The daughter, now a young woman, receives a package revealing a family secret that stretches back to World War II and beyond into the dark corridors of The Foundling Hospital. Take this remarkable trans-Atlantic journey alongside Justine Cowan as she pieces together clues from the past and uncovers her mother's story - of a girl who bravely withstood years of abuse and who dreamed of escape as German bombers rained death from the skies.
