Remember, children, I love you, their father said, before breathing his last.
The tragic death of their father leaves Lily Day and her brother orphans, struggling to survive. Her only consolation, the memory of his enduring love and the artistic talent he bequeathed her.
Landing in the unforgiving atmosphere of Saint Martin's Orphanage, Lily finds solace in her painting, her only refuge from the harsh realities of life.
Years later, Lily discovers there are those who would use her talents to further their own ends. For a time, it shames Lily to live the life of a faithful servant and a master of deceit.
Life brightens with the appearance of Robert Boyd, a handsome art critic. Their friendship deepens day by day as they share their love of fine art. Impossible dreams, or are they? What will happen when Lily's true identity is revealed?
The Orphaned Artist and all Catharine Dobbs' novellas are wholesome Victorian Romances.
