An Hour Unspent




An Hour Unspent will wrap up Roseanna M. White's Shadows Over England series.  You will again see this group of orphans, who have joined together to form an atypical family.  This latest tale will focus on the leader of the group, Barclay Pierce!

Barclay experienced a life-change, when he came face-to-face with the God in an earlier book in this series.  Now, rather than haunting the streets of London, stealing whatever he can to support his family, Barclay has found work with the British government to help in the war effort!

Barclay's latest job is to make contact with Mr. Manning, a watchmaker in England, who is working on a device that could assist the English pilots in their battle against Germany, in the early days of WWI.  Barclay soon meets the watchmaker's daughter, Evelina, and he knows his life will never be the same!

When the watchmaker suddenly winds up missing, his family can only fear that he has left, due to family quarrels.  You will not believe what happens next.  Barclay discovers that the clockmaker did not run away, but rather he has been kidnapped by the enemies of England, to get their hands on his design!

Watch and see what happens to the relationship between Barclay and Evelina, as they search high and low for the location of where the watchmaker has been hidden!
