But Holly's beautiful Christmas dream was soon to contort into a cruel nightmare. One snowy Christmas Eve, two vulnerable little girls run away from the harsh workhouse, into the unknown and unforgiving world that was Victorian London. Holly knows nothing but the workhouse while Maggie had only been a resident since her mother died three years before. Holly is quiet and careful. Maggie is brave and outspoken and daring. A young street boy called Gabriel introduces them to the charitable Fanny who welcomes them to her brood of unwanted children. Fanny's street children always ate well at Christmas, but Holly soon wondered where it all came from. There was a mystery behind Fanny's business that seemed to attract tragedy and pain. The girls were soon to suffer because of it. How will Holly cope with life outside the workhouse? Would she take Fanny's grim warnings to heart? Would Christmas finally prove to be all she dreamed of? This tale of hardship and perseverance, in which kindness and charity prove mightier than crime and cruelty, shows the true spirit of Christmas.

Extract: "Now, I believe everyone has had a Christmas present and a good time. Nobody has been forgotten, not even the cat," said Mrs. Ward to her daughter, as she looked at Pobbylinda, purring on the rug, with a new ribbon round her neck and the remains of a chicken bone between her paws. It was very late, for the Christmas-tree was stripped, the little folks abed, the baskets and bundles left at poor neighbors' doors, and everything ready for the happy day which would begin as the clock struck twelve. They were resting after their labors, while the yule log burned down; but the mother's words reminded Belinda of one good friend who had received no gift that night."
