After the sorrows of war, can Christmas wishes come true? Manchester, 1922. : Nancy Pike is out of her depth. A pupil at the Miss Heskeths' school for surplus girls, she' s blundering through her lessons and her job placements. She never wanted to leave her beloved pie-shop job, but she knows she needs to better herself. Her only joy is getting to know the children at St Anthony' s orphanage. And working for Mr Zachary Milner twice a week. Zachary' s new business is off to a flying start. Alone in the world since the death of his brother, he' s determined to do well for the both of them. And Nancy' s presence has brought a little sunshine back into his life. But when she makes a terrible mistake that puts his livelihood in jeopardy, he has no choice but to let her go. As Nancy struggles to find a way to make it up to him, she must also try to make this Christmas the best the orphans have ever seen - or risk losing yet another chance to help her family. As she battles the prejudices around her, and her own fear, can she bring a little Christmas cheer to the orphanage, and maybe even to Zachary Milner? The third in a quartet of sagas set during the early 1920s, following three Surplus Girls - those women whose dreams of marriage perished in the Great War, after the deaths of millions of young men - and the new lives they forged for themselves.
