Rich in detail and character. </p><p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>It's 1875 and London's East End heaves with children who work as prostitutes, hawkers, beggars and thieves. Constance rescues as many as she can but feels overwhelmed. Then a solution is offered that sounds perfect - Canada, with its wide green plains, has farmers who need help, while their wives want housemaids. Shipping children to this land of plenty offers them a future far from the temptations of London's overcrowded streets. Widow, Mary Trupper, is wary, but the promise of good food and an education for her children is strong.</p><p>Are the fields green? Is the food plentiful? For some, yes. For others, the harsh winters reflect the welcome.</p><p>Based on the true story of the British Home Children who were shipped to Canada in the 1870s.</p><p>Regular spikes into top Kindle sales ranking when mentioned in British Home Children historical research groups and blogs.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>Book club comments: "I was drawn in straight away."
