Her Family, Her Home, Her Future—All Leveled in One Thunderous Explosion
When life seems weighed down by challenges, there are always pillars of enduring hope and love to be discovered.
Three days ago, Pearline Campbell's family was whole and Oliver Hamilton still loved her. But upon returning to Halifax disfigured and shellshocked, Oliver ended their relationship. Then came Thursday, December 6, 1917, when the Halifax harbor was leveled by a tremendous explosion. . .and Pearline fears nothing will ever be whole again. Her parents are dead, her brother is missing, and her sister refuses to speak. Pearline must fortify herself to open her home to needy orphans, including an unidentified baby. Where can she find the strength for each new day as misery grips the city?

Loved reading the inspirational and awesome story. When Oliver comes back from war with his face disfigured and a missing eye, he breaks things off with the love of his life Pearline, but when the Halifax explosion happens, Oliver helps with the survivors, and Pearline takes care of children and a baby in her parents' home in addition to her younger sister, Sophia, who isn't speaking because of the atrocities. she has seen. Read the highly recommended and wonderfully written story.

What an incredible story! Just the historical context itself is mind-boggling! When I say that these characters had it hard, I mean they had it HARD. Watching them all come together and help each other to get through the mountains of indescribable loss was a bittersweet thing to behold.
