Seventeen-year-old Sadie Linthorpe arrives in Ryhope alone, seeking work and a new life—but she carries a heartbreaking secret. Her baby daughter was taken from her at birth by a cruel grandmother who sold the child, and all Sadie knows is that her daughter has a tiny ladybird-shaped birthmark and that her adoptive family lives in Ryhope. As she searches for her lost child, a visitor from her past threatens the life she is beginning to build and the chance to be reunited with her beloved daughter. The Tuppenny Child is a gripping, emotional tale of love, loss, and the unbreakable bond between mother and child.

Frequently Asked Questions
Are your books brand new?
Mostly, we sell pre-loved books — they’ve been read, enjoyed, and are now ready for their next happy home.
How do I take care of my secondhand books?
Store them somewhere cool and dry. Use a dehumidifier if possible. Don’t feed them to booklice (yes, they exist). And if you notice tanning or foxing, don’t panic — it’s normal aging. Think of it as wrinkles on a wise old friend.
Do secondhand books have markings or highlights?
Some may have previous owner’s notes, highlights, or dedications on the first page. If a book has visible markings, we’ll always mention it in the description or upon inquiry.
How do you check the quality of secondhand books?
We carefully inspect every book before listing. Most of our books are in very good, readable condition, with no missing or damaged pages. For older, heavily foxed or tanned books, we still sell them at a lower price, as long as they remain complete and enjoyable to read. Condition and pricing are always reflected in the listing.
Where can we contact you for further inquiries?
We’re always active on our social media accounts — so go ahead, follow us and talk to us (seriously, nobody really talks to us 😅). You can also send us an email if you prefer. Either way, we’ll be happy to hear from you!
