Book Description
Death strikes and claims the mother of Martin Smith when he is still in primary five, leaving him and his siblings at the mercy of a volcanic tempered and cruel father. No longer prepared to accept any beatings from his father, he runs away from home and takes up residence in a deserted house in a neighbouring village with little to live on. His fate appears sealed. Just when all hope seems lost, appears Mr Finley Banks - a Peace Corp Volunteer and teacher. Martin Smith is pleased to be treated like a son once more, only for Mr Finley Banks to come to the end of his stay in the country five years later. How will things turn out with him gone? Set in Cameroon and Italy, this is a story of opportunities and opportunism. It is the story of the trials, thrills and tribulations of a young African half orphan boy determined to make it in life.

Isak and the Oranges
Author: Nancy Price Freedman
Publisher:
ISBN: 9781478755647
Category : Family & Relationships
Languages : en
Pages : 99
Book Description
"Isak and the Oranges, a work of historic fiction, is a carefully researched story about the plight of orphans and half-orphans in New York City at the turn of the last century. It is based on the author's father's experiences as an immigrant child. The Hebrew Orphan Asylum was real, as were the child-rearing practices common at the turn of the last century. Today they would be considered child abuse, but at that time were thought to be "for the child's own good." Although the children left the orphanage well prepared for their future, nothing could erase the terrors of their early life or the stigma of being orphans."--back cover

Book Description
Welcome to the Half Orphan Club. My brothers and I became members on February 28th, 1992. That fateful Friday afternoon was the day the world lost a little of its color and left a little darkness in all of us. We never even saw it coming. Over the years, People have often told me that I needed to write a book about the impact the loss of my father has had on me and my life. So, after nearly twenty years, I finally did. In a time where there isn't much comfort, I hope you will find some sense of support as I take you on my journey. Perhaps yours will turn out to be a lot like mine was, perhaps it won't. Regardless, I want you to know, these waters are not uncharted. Many have come before you, many more will come after you. I know it doesn't mean much, but from one member to another - you will get through this. ~ Karina Gioertz

The Half-Orphan's Handbook
Author: Joan F. Smith
Publisher: Imprint
ISBN: 125062469X
Category : Young Adult Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 320
Book Description
For fans of John Green and Emily X.R. Pan, The Half-Orphan's Handbook by Joan F. Smith is a coming-of-age story and an empathetic, authentic exploration of grief with a sharp sense of humor and a big heart. It’s been three months since Lila lost her father to suicide. Since then, she’s learned to protect herself from pain by following two unbreakable rules: 1. The only people who can truly hurt you are the ones you love. Therefore, love no one. 2. Stay away from liars. Liars are the worst. But when Lila’s mother sends her to a summer-long grief camp, it’s suddenly harder for Lila to follow these rules. Potential new friends and an unexpected crush threaten to drag her back into life for the first time since her dad’s death. On top of everything, there’s more about what happened that Lila doesn’t know, and facing the truth about her family will be the hardest part of learning how a broken heart can love again.
