Elisha's coach, Clarence Yates fell to his knees during Elisha's rehearsal. It seemed as though his years of fast-paced pageantry work had finally caught up with him. Distraught, Elisha turns to her best friend and fellow pageant contestant, Luciana for support, only to find that Luciana has been taking prescription sleeping pills to deal with the stress of the pageant and school. Weeks before the pageant, Luciana finds out she didn't get into Juilliard as her parents planned. Unable to handle the pressure, Luciana overdoses on sleeping pills and won't come out of a coma. As Elisha searches for strength, she finds comfort in one of her professors, Eric Turner. Eric steps right in, happily comforting Elisha and even acting as her coach.

Henry was one of a hundred thousand children who made that incredible ocean voyage to a so-called better place, called Canada. Blessed by a stroke of fate, Henry clumsily meets Lizzie, a local middle-class girl who lives in the town of Waterford, Ontario. Lizzie, along with her best friend Clara suddenly figure out what is taking place and both of them do everything possible to find out where Henry has been sent. This historical story is based on actual events and reflects life in South Western Ontario, Canada in 1907 -- called Canada West. A documented shameful period in Canadian history that was suppressed for years by all those that were involved in its execution. Canada and Australia, young nations trying hard and fast to grow up, engaged in an organized, lucrative child slave movement with mother England. This cruel and harsh immigrant trade continued for almost forty years, all the while being ignored by the world. The story reflects what life was like for young immigrant children, local children, and their strong will and desire to explore and be together. The unfortunate event at the end of the novel propels Henry from boyhood into an adult and changes his character forever. The Home Child is a story that embraces human tolerance, unthinkable harsh isolation, commitment, and the ultimate will to survive in this so-called better place called, Canada.Your heart will certainly be touched. Henry and Lizzie were my grandparents -Richard P. Tanos
