Bookroo's summary

In 1853 New Orleans, Cecile is determined to bring hope to orphans devastated by yellow fever. As a benefit event approaches, she searches for a way to show she cares. Can Cecile find the perfect gesture to lift their spirits and make a difference in their lives?

From the publisher

Cecile and her friend Marie-Grace volunteer at Holy Trinity Orphanage every week, and Cecile becomes especially close to a little girl named Perrine. But there are so many children who have lost their families to yellow fever, and Cecile wishes she could do more to help them. When she hears that a huge benefit will be held to raise money for all the orphans in New Orleans, she is determined to take part. But what can Cecile give to the orphans to lift their sad hearts and let them know she cares?”
