Nobody’s Girl
Despre această carte electronică
The dramatic novel from the Sunday Times bestselling author.
ABANDONED
On the cold stone steps of an orphanage, only a few hours old and clutching the object which was to give her name, Pearl Button had a hard start to life.
ALONE
Now 16, she's finally managed to escape the cruel confines of the orphanage. Finding work at a nearby café, Pearl is thrilled to start earning her own money, even if she must contend with sharp-tongued Dolly Dolby and her menacing son Kevin.
AT RISK
Soon, though, Pearl's life is thrown into jeopardy when she becomes entangled in the murky South London underworld. Can gentle giant Derek Lewis protect vulnerable Pearl from handsome but cruel Kevin – and her own heart?
Meanwhile, at the orphanage where Pearl spent her wretched childhood, a terrible secret that she has guarded is about to be unleashed...
A gripping and heartrending saga from the Sunday Times bestseller. Perfect for fans of Katie Flynn and Dilly Court.

Despre autor
Kitty Neale was raised in South London and this working class area became the inspiration for her novels. In the 1980s she moved to Surrey with her husband and two children, but in 1998 there was a catalyst in her life when her son died, aged 27. After working for 2 years with other bereaved parents in a support group, Kitty took up writing, and now lives in Spain with her husband.
