MY THOUGHTS

This was a terrific read by Susan Anne Mason centered on the little known history of children being brought from England to Canada to work. It showed the good and bad side of the program which I liked. Surely many who came must have profited from the program, but for some they were treated worse than hired hands.

I also liked the contrasting of society here. It shows the difficulty faced by some as to how to behave now that society was so much different. One could work their way up, own land, and the rules of society were different in the New World.

The characters were incredibly well done. Quinten was such a gentleman and seemed like a very realistic main character. Julia grew throughout the story, and the reader feels empathy for her as she tries to make her way in her new environment.

I really enjoyed this series, and I will miss the characters. Once again, this was another read that had a good, strong faith thread that I really appreciated. It was incredibly well done by the author.

I’m looking forward to the next release from this author. She has a voice all her own in her books, and I enjoy them.

This was a fascinating piece of history about which I knew nothing. Taking children that aren’t wanted or are living on the streets, to a new world with parents waiting for them. It sounds like a wonderful idea, but with some involved it became a scary time for children and parents.

This book follows several characters in this backdrop of history. The characters are well done, and I enjoyed getting to learn about this time in history through their eyes. I found myself wondering what choices I would make in certain situations. It wasn’t exactly black and white for those who so very much wanted to right the wrongs that had occurred. The faith theme in this book is present and a good one! I always enjoy when Christian elements are present in Christian Fiction.

So take yourself on a journey through an interesting time in history…think of why your emotions, feelings, and mind would have suffered.
