Doris’s aunt is cruel to her, but kind to her brother, and threatens to take away everything her parents left her.
***Free with Kindle Unlimited***
After losing their parents, Doris and Jack went to live with Aunt Bettie. For reasons Doris has never understood, Aunt Bettie seems to hate her. Not only is she always devising newer and crueller ways to torment her niece, but she constantly threatens to take away her inheritance using her ‘Favour Book.’
As they grow older, and it becomes clear that Jack will inherit not just their family money, but Aunt Bettie’s love of tormenting her, Doris is left with a choice - accept her life as it is, or go it alone and face the world outside.
A world she is almost entirely unprepared for.
When Doris finally takes the plunge, and decides what her future must be, the decision leads her to horrifying places she could never imagine. But just when it seems like all hope is lost, a tiny glimmer shows itself.
From society parlours to dirty streets, The Orphan’s Inheritance paints a stark picture of the city that Hattie’s readers will recognise instantly. A tale of cruelty and love, misery and hope, tragic yesterdays and brighter tomorrows that hooks you from the very first page.
