Thirteen-year-old Lisa has escaped from Nazi Germany on the Kindertransport. She arrives in London unable to speak a word of English, her few belongings crammed into a small suitcase. Among them is one precious photograph of the family she has left behind. Lonely and homesick, she is adopted by a childless couple. But when the Blitz blows her new home apart, she wakes up in a hospital with no memory of who she is or where she came from. The authorities give her a new name and dispatch her to a children's home. With the war raging around her, what will become of Lisa now?

Histoire
Plymouth, 1941. As sirens blare all around, the Shawbrook family take refuge in a packed shelter. Bombs have already begun to fall through the night sky when they realize their infant son, Freddie, has been forgotten in the rush, left to sleep in his crib. Terrified, Vera, his young mother, races to find him and bring him to safety. The next morning, air-raid warden David Shawbrook returns from his watch to find the shelter pulverized, and his family seemingly all dead. Dirty footprints inside their home betray the looters who have rifled through the house.

Histoire
Eugenie Bearhani (1760-1835) was born in Calcutta, raised in Haiti, and brought as a servant - a free woman of color - to America by an English officer on the eve of the American Revolution. Yet none of that prepared Eugenie for her next employer: Colonel Aaron Burr, who some whispered had made a pact with the devil. The lines between master and servant soon tangle and blur, and first attraction becomes dangerous obsession. Many historians deny she even existed, but she and the children she bore to Burr were very real - so was her little-known marriage to America's first true villain.

It begins on the shaded town square in a sleepy Southern town. A spirited seven-year-old has a brisk business at her lemonade stand. But the little girl’s pretty yellow dress can’t quite hide the ugly scar on her chest. Her latest customer, a bearded stranger, drains his cup and heads to his car, his mind on a boat he's restoring at a nearby lake. The stranger understands more about the scar than he wants to admit. And the beat-up bread truck careening around the corner with its radio blaring is about to change the trajectory of both their lives.

Very few people know that Mark Twain wrote a major work on Joan of Arc. Still fewer know that he considered it not only his most important, but also his best work. He spent 12 years in research and many months in France doing archival work, and then made several attempts until he felt he finally had the story he wanted to tell.

A TRULY AMAZING SOUL!
- Écrit par Amazon Customer le 2022-04-29
Auteur(s): Mark Twain
Description
When Laura McAllister, a young lady's maid, learns her three siblings have been taken from their mother and emigrated to Canada without her mother's knowledge, she becomes determined to search for them and reunite the family. But a lack of funds and resistance from authorities push her to use a false name and take a position with a child emigration society to gain passage to Canada.
Andrew Frasier, a wealthy young lawyer, is surprised to see his mother's former maid on board a ship escorting a group of child immigrants, especially when she uses a different name. He's even more surprised when he learns that she's tracking down her siblings and attempting to save the other children from a horrendous fate. Romantic feelings grow between this unlikely couple, and even though they have different backgrounds, they share a growing faith and a desire to seek justice and relief for the children who are being mistreated.

A Journey Worth Hearing
I enjoy reading books about historical England and the plight of women and children. This book sites the McAllister children’s journey as they are send to Canada with many other British Home Children. This is a much gentler read than many other books in how the treatment of the children and how they and women were treated as property. The McAllister children are sweet kids and have a faith in God. I am looking forward to reading the sequel of this one family’s difficult journey to be reunited.

History lesson come to life
I love this book for what I learned about the historical moving of children from England to Canada. It was a nail biter as we went from one problem to another. The ending left me hanging and anxious to read the sequel.

Touching Story
This was a great story, revealing much about the plight of the British Home Children and one family's search for siblings mistakenly sent to Canada. While I enjoyed the story and found it well written I found it predictable in every way. As well, I was thoroughly fed up with hearing "Oh Lord...." over and over again. we realize from early on that it has Christian overtones but it was so overdone i nearly didnt finish the book. likewise with the "thank yous" and over abundance if gratitude felt by everyone, sll the time. somehow it didn't all ring quite true and to me it distracted from the heart of the story and the truth of what BHC experienced. I would have liked to hear the results of the report and what was or wasn't resolved because of it and we bever know what happens to Grace, which leaves someting unfinished for me.
