Lillian Walsh has endured more loss than most young women, having lost her birth parents, her younger sister, and, most recently, her beloved adoptive mother. Just as her adoptive father prepares to leave their Alberta home for an extended visit to Wales, a lawyer arrives with astonishing news: Lillian has inherited a small estate, and Grace, the sister she believed dead, may still be alive. Determined to reunite with her, Lillian discovers that Grace has grown into a spirited young woman whose difficult upbringing has inspired an ambitious dream of finding loving homes for orphaned children. As the sisters struggle to bridge the differences between their lives and beliefs, Lillian must decide whether to surrender her carefully laid plans and join Grace in a calling neither could fulfill alone. Perfect for a quiet afternoon on the porch, this heartfelt historical novel invites readers to step back in time, strengthen their faith, and discover how family, belonging, and hope can flourish after years of loss.
