For elementary readers. "Lucy and Glory Wolcott are sisters and the best of friends. They have no one but each other to rely on. They have little to eat and their nights are cold and damp. To keep their spirits up, Lucy invents stories about the family she barely remembers - and a lost doll named Morning Glory who Lucy is sure they will find again one day. When a deadly fever sweeps through a workhouse where the girls live, Lucy and Glory flee for their lives to the mean streets of London. Now they must learn how to survive on their own. One day the sisters fin an old, discarded doll. But Morning Glory is no ordinary doll... And she works her magic on everyone around her."
