   Cap No hi ha cap discussió a Converses sobre aquesta obra.   ) CandyH | May 31, 2021 |  Maisie Reynolds was abandoned at Holly Bush Orphanage, along with her twin brother Jack, when they were 4. Jack gets adopted, but Maisie does not. She lives at the orphanage all of her life, never receiving any love or compassion. World War II breaks out and causes some havoc at the orphanage, Maisie finds herself thrust into a position of authority for the orphanage because if she doesn't, no one else will. Maisie manages to get the remaining children adopted out and waits anxiously for the incoming injured soldiers to arrive, as Holly Bush becomes a hospital for the wounded men. Charlie and Joyce are Maisie's only friends. They encourage her to go to a few dances with them, so she will have some semblance of normality in her life. She accidentally meets Harry Cameron (Cam) and tentatively falls in love. From all of her life experiences, she feels she is not worthy of Cam's or anyone's love. Highly recommend. Maisie is a delightful character, your life will be a little richer, for knowing Maisie. Sincerest thanks to #netgalley for the complimentary copy of #theforgottenorphan I was under no obligation to post a review. ( ) HuberK | May 2, 2021 | Sense ressenyes | afegeix-hi una ressenya
