No Ocean Too Wide is the latest from Carrie Turansky. This tale will introduce you to the McAlister family. After their father dies while on his job, this family has to learn to survive on the mean streets of London, England. Life is hard in the early 1900s; however, when their mother becomes ill and is quickly transported to the hospital, her children do not know which way to turn!
After these young children are placed in an orphanage, their older sister, Laura, runs into trouble tracking them down. Thinking their mother has died, these children agree to be transported to another land to find a new home. When Laura learns that plans have been made to ship her siblings, along with hundreds of other children, across the ocean to Canada, she knows that she must find someone who will help her search for them!
This tale will keep you on the edge of your seat as you see all of the places and tough situations that Laura will encounter along the way. Laura is blessed by God when her former employer’s son, Andrew Fraser, a British lawyer, decides to lend a hand in her search. Andrew is looking into the companies who are placing these children into jobs or with families in a new land!
Will these children’s lives be better or will they be taken advantage of? Hold on to discover the answer to this question!
