Über dieses E-Book
A tale of hardship and survival, set between Birmingham and Canada across the 1950s, 60s and 70s, The Doorstep Child is a heart-rending story from the bestselling author of the Chocolate Girls series, Annie Murray.
From a tender age little Evie struggled . . .
Evie spent her early years left outside on the step. With a drunk for a father and a neglectful mother, all little Evie has ever craved is a safe home and a normal existence.
Her young eyes had seen so much, but this never tainted her spirit. If it wasn't for her best friend Gary, and friendly dog called Whisky, Evie might never have made it to the sixteenth birthday.
At sixteen she meets Ken, a sweet brown-eyed boy, not much older than she is. Perhaps her fortunes have changed? But no sooner does she give over her heart, she is betrayed, not for the first time in her young life . . .
Will Evie ever find the love and warmth she's always craved?
Praise for Annie Murray:
'Annie Murray’s superbly drawn characters will live with you long after you have finished reading' – Margaret Dickinson, author of Secrets at Bletchley Park
'An emotional story that captivates completely' – The People's Friend
'A gripping read, full of drama, love and compassion' – Take a Break
