The Orphan House by Ann Bennett
Over 3,250 5-Star Reviews!
As she looks at the baby wriggling in her father’s arms, recognition jolts through her—and in that moment, she begins protecting his secrets.
1934. Connie Burroughs loves life in the orphanage her father runs—exploring its nooks with her sister, hearing the thunder of a hundred feet on the stairs, watching her father do so much good. But everything changes the day she sees him carrying a newborn he claims was left at the gate…a baby she recognises.
Present day. Hoping to escape her difficult divorce, Sarah Jennings retreats to her father’s cottage by the river. But when she finds him ill and poring over files from the orphanage where he was abandoned, she takes it upon herself to uncover its past.
The only survivor from Cedar Hall is Connie Burroughs, who stays silent in her nursing home for a reason. Hidden beneath her bed, a sewing box holds secrets that could change Sarah’s life forever—and reveal a connection between them with darker consequences than she could ever imagine.
