Languages : en
Pages : 230
Book Description
The Home Child tells the story of Henry Dewberry, a twelve-year-old orphan from London, England.

The unfortunate event at the end of the novel propels Henry from boyhood into an adult and changes his character forever. The Home Child is a story that embraces human tolerance, unthinkable harsh isolation, commitment, and the ultimate will to survive in this so-called better place called, Canada.Your heart will certainly be touched. Henry and Lizzie were my grandparents -Richard P. Tanos
