(2023)(The first book in the West Country Family Sagas series)
A novel by Daisy Carter
Dolly will do anything to protect her family on the canals of the West Country. But when poverty is pitted against wealth, can she succeed? And does she dare to dream of a happily ever after?
When a tragedy leaves Dolly and her siblings orphaned, she vows she will do whatever it takes to save them from the dreaded workhouse and keep them together.
Life takes an unexpected turn when they are rescued by an aunt and uncle she never knew they had.
But Verity and Bert live on a narrowboat, travelling the waterways of the West Country with their cargo, which means leaving behind everything they’ve ever known.
Not only that, but for reasons she doesn’t understand, her childhood friend, Joe suddenly turns against her as well.
Dolly and her siblings are swept into a new life on The River Maid. Where poverty is never far away, but family and friends stick together.
But she soon discovers that some people don’t look favourably on the canal folk.
Especially the arrogant and entitled Dominic Smallwood, who is set to become the master of Nailsbridge Mill, which Dolly and her family rely on for their meagre income.
Joe comes back into her life, and Dolly finds herself falling in love. However, Dominic has other ideas, and his jealousy triggers a terrifying sequence of events.
When Dolly discovers a shocking secret, she finds herself at the mercy of someone who is determined to make her stay quiet.
And when her family is put in danger, Joe and Dolly must risk everything to save the people they love…
The Narrowboat Orphans is a page-turning, heart-warming romance, full of gritty drama, courage, heartache, and hope, that will linger in your mind long after you finish it.
Another feel-good historical saga by Daisy Carter, the popular author of The Pit Girl’s Scandal, The Snow Orphan’s Destiny, and more. Fans of Dilly Court, Tania Crosse, and Catherine Cookson will adore this thrilling and unforgettable story.
