Hope Dawson writes Victorian historical romance sagas set in 19th-century England. Her stories follow working-class women — orphans, servants, mill workers, and foundlings — who face poverty and hardship with determination. The books are clean romances that emphasize emotional resilience and love against difficult odds.
Dawson started publishing in 2020 with a burst of novellas including The Forgotten Daughter, The Carter’s Orphan, and The Millworker’s Girl. These shorter works established her focus on Victorian settings and the lives of women on the margins of society. She followed with standalone novels like The Girl Below Stairs and The Unlucky Orphan Girl before launching her Victorian Orphans series in 2022.
Her readers compare her work to authors like Dilly Court, Rosie Goodwin, and Emma Hornby. Dawson’s books are available primarily as ebooks and paperbacks, with titles published at a steady pace since her debut.
