Justin grew up in a wealthy family. Her father was a respectable lawyer. Her mother was a housewife, and everything in their home was always perfect. The neighbors admired them—especially her mother: her aristocratic manners and a royal British accent. But before her parents died, their daughter learned the family’s main secret—the secret of Dorothy Somes. Who is she, and how is she connected to Justin? Now the daughter must travel to the famous British children’s home and investigate the past of the person she had never known.
Page by page, Justin pieces together the incredible story. She arrives in gloomy London and goes to damp, foggy English villages, lifting the veil of mystery over an old children’s home that raised servants for the aristocracy. Its history is closely tied to the royal family, prominent politicians, doctors, and figures from the arts. Justin had no idea how dreadful and cruel the past of the abandoned children would turn out to be. The farther she digs into the unjust story, the more unbelievable becomes the life of a little girl who never should have been born.
