Here is the book summary:
A
family long divided, a mysterious trunk, and a desperate journey across the
ocean—all in the name of love. The epic saga of the McAlisters continues in
this riveting sequel to No Ocean Too Wide.
In 1909, Grace McAlister set sail for Canada as
one of the thousands of British Home Children taken from their families and
their homeland. Though she is fortunate enough to be adopted by wealthy
parents, the secrets of her past are kept hidden for ten years until someone
from her long-buried childhood arrives on her doorstep. With this new
connection to her birth family, will she be brave enough to leave her sheltered
life in Toronto and uncover the truth?
After enduring hardship as an indentured British
Home Child, Garth McAlister left Canada to serve in World War I. His
sweetheart, Emma Lafferty, promised to wait for his return, but after three
long years apart, her letters suddenly stopped. When Garth arrives home from
the war to unexpected news, he is determined to return to Canada once more on a
daunting mission to find the two women he refuses to abandon—his long-lost
sister and his mysteriously missing sweetheart.
And now, my review:
This is a book of much adventure with a twist of a court-hearing
and a reconnection with long lost relationships because of the setting of
war. This book continues the story of
the results of a family shipped across the sea to be offered over to families
to be raised. There was a separation of
the children and this is the story of one of the children. It’s exciting to read about the development
of the life of this young lady. The
excitement of growing up and connecting with her love. I’m really enjoying all the books in this
series.
I received a copy of this book in exchange for my honest
review.
