Review: This is a story that I found very hard to put down once I started reading it. 

Four siblings who are orphans find themselves being separated. Elizabeth while being a nurse falls in love however a family situation occurs and Elizabeth must choose the right thing to do. 

It is a gripping read full of family struggles. You can't help but hope the best for the characters. Maggie Hope's writing really draws you into the story.

Sadly I was unable to make it through much of this book. The writing style wasn't to my liking. Thank you for the opportunity to view. I wish the author the best.

This was a nice read but just to predictable for me.

I enjoyed this book but found some parts of it a bit 'far fetched' which is why I dropped a star rating. Nevertheless, I would recommend it to others to read.

Elizabeth struggles when her mother dies leaving her and her siblings alone. Aunt Betty quickly offers to tKe baby Kit and Jenny and Alice her two young sisters are fostered out. This leaves Elizabeth and Jimmy to go into the children’s home attached to the workhouse. Through some tough years Elizabeth never forgets her vow to get her family together again. This book follows all the hardships that Elizabeth has to deal with while trying to make her dearest wish come true. A lovely read.

This book tells the story of Lizzie who is determined to do the bes for her siblings when her mother dies. She falls in love with Captain Jack Benson, but he seems far above her in station especially when she loses her nursing job. She overs in with her sisters abusive foster father to try and help her sister Jenny have a better life and it seems her chance of happiness has gone. The book is a real page turner that kept me up reading until the early hours.
I would recommend this book for fans of Dilly Court and Catherine Cookson.
Thank you Netgalley for the arc

Very enjoyable and definitely recommended. I found it very compelling and hard to put down.

This is the story of Elizabeth and her siblings who are orphaned when there mother passes away.

The family are split up with Elizabeth and her brother being put into a home and her two other sister have been adopted out and her baby brother goes to live with their Aunt.

Elizabeth is determined to stay close to her brother's and sisters, but the care system has other ideas. Elizabeth isn't allowed to know where her two sisters have been sent. But she is determined to find out and better herself so maybe in the future she can look after her family???

But all is not as it seems and Elizabeth's dream of becoming a nurse has been destroyed, what will she do now???

Great story, really nicely paced with an interesting mix of characters.

I have generally given up on traditional romance novels, I don't know why, I suppose it all became too much for me. However with A Daughter's Gift, I decided to give romance another chance.

I am kinda glad that I did? Reading this book brought back my fond memories of the time I was obsessed with historical romance. I think the book was really well written and the characters fairly interesting however I have to admit it that I wasn't as engrossed in it as I thought I might be. The worst thing is, I am not even sure why I wasn't trying to finish the book as fast as I could. The book really is a good one, the writing, the pacing and even the characters are pretty good.

Oh well.

All in all, I enjoyed the book, if it's historical fiction you are looking for, then it is for you. If it's romance you are looking for then it's definitely for you!

This novel is like rich versus poor and class distinction almost cruel at times but shows what can happen when the main character struggles with heartbreak and being badly treated but being strong enough to overcome all obstacles to fight for her family a real insight into what life was like 100 year's ago a good read think it would appeal to older readers

Enjoyable, with good characters. However the constant shift of character point of view was distracting to me.

Very much a book of its type. I was somewhat frustrated by the constant 'misses, and poor communication between the characters. One of the worst was Jimmy not mentioning Jenny to Jack ..... of course he would have done! I realise these were included to build the story but really it was just too frustrating and inconsistent.

A young Girl facing heartbreak when her and her siblings are orphaned. Can she get the family back together. A brilliant books that tears you apart with emotion.
