Hetty Feather is a historical novel set in Victorian England, telling the powerful and emotional story of a foundling — a child abandoned by her birth parents.

Before she returns to the hospital at age five, she spends her early childhood with a foster family in the countryside, experiencing love and freedom for the first time.
