War rages, but the women and children of Liverpool’s Dr Barnardo’s Home cannot give up hope. A poignant, heart-warming saga to read this winter...

THE STRENGTH TO HOPE
There are children that desperately need her help, and Lana must fight for everyone’s happiness, as well as her own. But one young girl in particular shows her that there is a way through the darkness – because even when all seems lost, there is always a glimmer of hope to be found...
