No Journey Too Far: A Novel (#02 in Mcalister Family Series)

This book is the sequel to 'No Ocean Too Wide'. In that book, the three young McAlister siblings were sent to Canada as home children without their sick mother's permission. Their older sister Laura sets out to find them, but there were some lose threads at the end of the first book. \\n\\nI found myself caring for all of the main characters and wanted to know what happened to them. Their faith remained strong in the most difficult of circumstances. Although things were tough at times, they could see God's hand in their situation and they drew on his strength when things seemed impossible. The author also shines a light in the difficulties that many of the British home children faced in Canada, especially regards their work situations and the prejudice they experienced from many. It's an important story worthy of more attention. \\n\\nThe novel was perhaps a little slow for me at times, but then I read a lot of suspense novels and am used to stories moving along at a good clip. However, I did enjoy it overall. If you like faith-filled historical fiction with heart and hope, there is much to enjoy in this book. However, you'll appreciate it more if you read Book 1 first. \\n\\nThank you to Net Galley and the publisher for providing me with a free Kindle version in exchange for an honest review. \\n\\n
