'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. 'Unforgettable' Stylist 'A fascinating, moving book: part history of the Foundling Hospital and the development of child psychology, part Cowan's own story, and part that of Cowan's mother' Daily Telegraph 'A beautifully written and tender account of how a daughter came to a late understanding of her mother' New Statesman
