This audiobook was SO good!!! It is Book 2 in the McAlister family series set in Canada and the UK, with orphan children being sent off from Great Britain to Canada--and some kids who weren't orphans at all! Great narration to go with a great story!
Blurb: In 1909, Grace McAlister set sail for Canada as one of the thousands of British Home Children taken from their families and their homeland. Although she’s fortunate enough to be adopted by wealthy parents, the secrets of her past are kept hidden for 10 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.
No Journey Too Far is available in MULTIPLE formats: paperback, ebook, audiobook download, hardcover, and CD audiobook!
