A Safe Haven — Irene Northan

Four orphans struggle to find new lives and fresh hope in this poignant historical saga from the author of To Dream Again and Daughter of the River.
 
When Amy Kennedy is sent from Lambeth Workhouse to Devon alongside her closest friends Seth, Jed and Daisy, it finally seems like life is taking a turn for the better. But life at the seaside is not the safe haven they'd hoped for.
 
Though Amy finds a happy escape from her difficult job in the arms of handsome Daniel Newton, Seth flounders in the harsh realities of a fisherman's life despite Jed's protection, and Daisy faces abuse at the lecherous hands of her employer. Now, as tragedy strikes, they each face repercussions their days as orphans could never have prepared them for.
