The Rag Princess by Rosie Goodwin (Hardcover)

Coventry, 1904. Abandoned on the steps of the workhouse shortly after her birth, little Annie has never known the love of a family. When she’s taken from the only world she’s ever known to a grand home on Swan Lane, she dares to hope her life might finally change for the better.
But hope is fragile. Grieving the loss of her own child, Maggie Lilburn doesn’t adopt Annie out of kindness—she wants her as a servant, not a daughter. Despite Maggie’s coldness, Annie finds flickers of warmth elsewhere: in the bond she forms with her adopted brothers and the quiet kindness of Maggie’s husband, Levi, the local rag-and-bone man. Seeing Annie’s potential, Levi takes her under his wing and into his trade.
As Maggie struggles under the weight of her sorrow, Annie is determined to hold the fractured family together—and carve out a future of her own. Yet one question haunts her: who were her parents, and why did they abandon her at the workhouse all those years ago?
The Rag Princess is an emotional tale of resilience, heartbreak, and the power of family—and the first book in Rosie Goodwin’s moving Rags to Riches trilogy.
