A gritty drama that will appeal to fans of The Throwaway Children and authors Nadine Dorries and Kitty Neale. When little Terry and Nancy arrive at the door of St Saviour’s Children’s Home, they seem shellshocked after being orphaned in the fire that killed their parents. Terry is terribly damaged by his experiences, though the concerned staff, especially Angela Morton, suspect that there is something more sinister behind his disturbing behaviour. Angela shares her anxieties with Mark Adderbury, a psychiatrist volunteering at the home. They’ve grown closer recently but Angela, still grieving the loss of her husband, feels that Mark needs more from her than she can give. Then why does she feel so jealous at the arrival of Staff Nurse Carole, who seems to have captured Mark’s attention? They must all pull together to get to the bottom of what really happened to Terry and Nancy, but the truth may be harder to take than they realise . . . In THE LITTLE RUNAWAYS, Cathy Sharp masterfully crafts a historical fiction that delves into the urban life of orphaned siblings, Terry and Nancy. The best-selling author intricately weaves family sagas with medical intricacies, making it a top choice for avid readers. For fans of Rosie Goodwin (A Mother's Grace), Mary Wood (The Guernsey Girls), Katie Flynn (The Winter Runaway), Anna Jacobs (Lavender Lane), and Glenda Young (The Paper Mill Girl).
