LYNETTE REES
THE WORKHOUSE WAIF
Will this little orphan girl find her happy ending?
​
After the death of her father in a mining accident, Megan and her family had no choice but to move to the local workhouse. Separated from her mother and five siblings, young Megan must learn how to stand on her own two feet.
​
But it's on one of the days she's sent out on errands that her fate changes. She meets a young boy who's stealing apples from the local market, as well as a friendly well-to-do lady with the most melodious voice she's ever heard. With her newfound friends, can she find a new life for herself?
​
A heartwarming saga, perfect for fans of Dilly Court, Katie Flynn and Nadine Dorries
The Workhouse Waif is one of my favourite Victorian stories. Megan and Griff are enchanting and Lynette brings them alive with her honest dialogue and characterisation. I wanted to turn every page and I found time passed very quickly, so immersed I became in dear Megan's struggles and achievements. The social history and research that must have gone into the writing paid off and I learned so much. Thank you for a delightful and moving story, Lynette. I advise anyone who would like to know more about the Victorian era, especially the gruelling life in the workhouses, to read The Workhouse Waif. A book I will always remember.
