Henrietta's Dream by Henrietta Spink
Like all mothers, Henrietta had imagined a bright and normal future for her children - but this particular joy was not to be. This story follows her amazing quest for a better life for her sons, as she has learned to believe in the impossible, strive against the odds and dig deep into resources she never knew she had.
