Summary

Alice Thorton is only five years old when her parents are killed in an accident. Together with her two little sisters, she is sent to live in a dismal part of London near the docks. Her grandfather loves them, but Christmas is a quiet, lonely affair in his little cottage.

As the streets surrounding them turn dangerous, the girls are confined to the cottage. Alice’s only friend is Charlie Tillman, a cheerful young dockworker who is always looking out for her and her sisters. But Alice’s entire world crumbles one Christmas when her grandfather has no choice but to send them away to their aunt—an aunt who dotes on the two littlest ones but wants nothing to do with Alice.

Alice’s quest is to return home to her grandfather and Charlie, but with every passing Christmas, it becomes more and more impossible. She struggles though devastating jobs, deceitful masters, and eventual homelessness. It will take one last great miracle to bring both Charlie and Alice home in time for Christmas.
