520    Between the years of 1869 to 1939 more than one hundred 
       thousand impoverished British children were sent across 
       the ocean to Canada with the promise of a better life. 
       Those who took them in to work as farm laborers or 
       household servants were told they were orphans -- but was 
       that the truth? After the tragic loss of their father, the
       McAlister family at the edge of the poorhouse in London in
       1909, leaving their mother to scrape by for her three 
       younger children, while the oldest daughter, Laura, works 
       on a large estate more than an hour away. When their 
       mother falls gravely ill and is hospitalized, twins Katie 
       and Garth and seven-year-old Grace are forced into an 
       orphans' home before Laura is notified about her family's 
       situation. With British children being sent to Canada, 
       whether truly orphans or not, Laura knows she must act 
       quickly. But finding her siblings and taking care of her 
       family may cost her everything. Andrew Frasier, a wealthy 
       young British lawyer and heir to the estate where Laura is
       in service, discovers that this common practice of finding
       new homes for penniless children might not be all that it 
       seems. Together Laura and Andrew form an unlikely 
       partnership--|cCover.
