The Forgotten Home Child (2020) is an historical fiction novel by Canadian writer Genevieve Graham.

In 1936, 15-year-old Winnifred is living in a Dr Barardo’s home in Liverpool. She is promised a new life in Canada, but when she arrives, she is forced to work an indentured servant for a farming family.

In 1996, 97-year-old Winnifred is living in a retirement home. Although she has kept her past a secret, her great-grandson Jamie persuades her to share her story.

The Forgotten Home Child is based on the British Home Child program which saw over 100,000 children sent to Canada from the UK from the 1850s to the 1940s.
