The Forgotten Home Child by Genevieve Graham

4.0

The Forgotten Home Child does a beautiful job of showing just how dark Canadian history can be. I was shocked to have never heard this story before. This story takes you on a journey through two perspectives that follows five children living on the streets of London during the Industrial Revolution to their 'new opportunity' of living in Canada. Genevieve tastefully explores the stories of the Home Children, both good and bad, to bring to light this part of our history. The Forgotten Home Child is a great example of how Canadian history is just as deeply embedded with stories and lessons to learn as any other country.
I throughly enjoyed learning more about our history in this gripping tale and highly suggest to those that enjoy historical fiction to pick this one up. It had me happy crying by the end.
