Every Year I Am Here
READING AGE 4+
Irreverent and resourceful, Lillian Betts has her dreams. But in 1891, a woman with ambitions to rise into the city's upper echelon requires more than hopes and wishes.
One problem is Lillian's a maid, who's snatching illicit kisses with her employer's son. Another is her sister, who wants her help caring for illegitimate babies in exchange for premiums.
Taking a well-earned rest in Dutton Park, Lillian witnesses a mother deliver her baby in a grove of trees and abandon it. She must make a quick decision - one that may very well snuff out all her hopes of becoming a lady.
For secrets are hard to keep, and some people would love nothing more than to watch her fail.
