Charity's Child

Rosalie Warren

Dark deed or virgin birth?

Who is the father of Charity’s Child? 16-year-old Charity Baker has her own crazy ideas but even her loyal friend Joanne finds them hard to believe.

As the story reaches its disturbing climax, darkness is revealed in unexpected places and we learn with Joanne that many things in Charity’s life are not as they seem.

This powerful tale of teenage sexuality, religious fanaticism, self-harm and other highly topical issues has proved a popular reading group choice, shedding a much-needed light on the experience of the younger generation in modern Britain.
