This is an amazing story about people and families that rise from poverty and deal with incredible domestic problems in life. It’s based on a 1991 book about the miss treatment of infants in Quebec. Although it is fiction, many of the situations are exactly as they were found in those days and the names have been changed.
The book really touched my heart in many different ways but especially in the end. A good summary is, “never lose hope�.
Highly recommended by me

Good review, Deacon Tom! I also have this book on my WTR list. Sounds like a dark corner in Canadian history. :-(

It is truly exceptional.
Jayme........Thanks
Heartwarming review, Tom. There were so many wayward homes that mistreated so many children. I don’t understand how people could do those things. 💕
Kat......it really is. An unfortunate chapter in history. The Irish nuns had the most of the horrific places. This one is in Quebec. Thanks
Tina. You are always so kind. Thanks
Great emotions in your review, Tom! It sounds like an outstanding read!
Terrie...... thanks again for your friendship
