Strawberry Fields by Katie Flynn

Liverpool- Christmas Day 1924.When twelve-year-old Sara Cordwainer, the unloved child of rich and fashionable parents, sees a ragged girl with a baby in her arms outside her church, she stops to talk to her, pressing her collection money into the girl's icy hand. But from this generous act comes a tragedy which will haunt her for years.The day Sara meets Brogan O'Brady, a young Irishman working in England, she feels she has found a friend at last. She does not hesitate to confide in him, but Brogan has a secret which he dare tell no one, not even Sara.And in a Dublin slum, Brogan's little sister Polly is growing up. Polly, the only girl in a family of boys, knows herself to be much loved and valued, but it is not until Sara begins to work at the Salvation Army children's home, Strawberry Fields, that the two girls meet - and Brogan's secret is told at last .
