But when her father mercilessly disowns her in the depths of winter, that is her fate. Now homeless, Lauren finds America in the devastating grip of the Great Depression--children run wild in the icy streets, endless queues for soup kitchens line frosty sidewalks, and desperation hangs in the air. All alone in the world, Lauren finds an orphanage in the sprawling fields of the Virginia countryside, surrounded by snow-topped mountains and magnificent fir trees--a safe haven for those who have nowhere to go. But she is appalled to find children living in shocking conditions, huddled together for warmth, their hunger keeping them awake at night as the temperature plunges. The home for unloved orphans is on the brink of closure and the helpless innocents may lose the roof over their heads ... Lauren, heartbroken by the rejection of her own father, vows to provide these poor orphans with the love she never received. With Christmas just around the corner, she refuses to see them cast out onto the street, where they will not survive. When she sees an advertisement in the local newspaper, with an anonymous benefactor donating money to families crippled by the Depression, it could be the answer to her prayers. 650 0 $a Orphans $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Depressions $y 1929 $v Fiction. 651 0 $a Virginia $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Orphanages $v Fiction. 941 $a 7 952 $l ALPE516 $d 20240417020451.0 952 $l NVPB663 $d 20230620010511.0 952 $l STPC124 $d 20230418020039.0 952 $l BDPB251 $d 20220607010136.0 952 $l BSPB851 $d 20220201010638.0 952 $l KOPC446 $d 20210824010336.0 952 $l BAPH771 $d 20210811010057.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=6604BBECFA6911EB98C5017225ECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b IOUInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
