Promises To A Home Child, is a historical fiction story, based on real events. It begins in the late 1800's, when child immigration was at its peak. The children subjected to this treatment were called Home Children and were brought over under the promise that they would have a better life in Canada than living in the streets and workhouses in England. No doubt, some did thrive and were treated well but, others were not. They were indentured to their masters until the age of eighteen with little pay for working on the farms and in the shops and homes across Ontario and the rest of Canada.Mary, Elizabeth Taylor, was my paternal grandmother and it is to her memory that I dedicate this book. I hope you enjoy reading about her exceptional and amazing life, as much as I enjoyed discovering the many challenges she so bravely faced. Her spirit, like a beacon of hope, prevails to this day within her descendants and we promise to never forget you or any of the many Home Children who helped build our great land. We thank you, Mary.
