Orphan at My Door: The Home Child Diary of Victoria Cope by Jean Little
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Although Victoria, the main character, was just a tad too mature about accepting the "home girl" into their home to be really believable, I enjoyed this book and its portrayal of prejudice. Maybe kids back then WERE more mature than I am used to. I am also a bit surprised that she didn't understand much about pregnancy, since her father was a doctor who delivered babies, too. Nevertheless, it was an enjoyable read.
