Amazing storyline with a good cast of characters, could not put the book down had to keep reading to find out what happened in the end, 10/10

Loved loved loved this book! Was so heartwarming and fell in love with everyone especially Arthur’! A fabulous read.

Arthur Henderson shipped out to Canada from the orphanage in London
The year is 1943 and he is adopted by Ken and Emily but after Ken joins up to fight in the war Emily finds she is left with debts so sails back with Arthur to England will she leave so he is alone again?
This book is full of the hardship and loss of a little boy that brings tears to your eyes reading, very moving, emotional read. You will just want to take Arthur into your arms and give him the life he deserves.
Absolutely lovely.

A sweet and heart warming story that’s hard to put down even after it’s finished. I want more! I loved Arthur and longed to jump through the pages and give him a hug.

What a beautiful story! When Arthur is placed with Ken & Emily Henderson he is still suffering from his father’s death and the long boat journey from London to Canada, when suddenly his life is thrown into disarray ! This begins a whole new journey for the boy, where he will encounter dishonesty, kindness, evil and familiar faces. The strongest thing that comes across is Arthur’s vulnerability and lack of self belief, he is so sad it will break your heart. Arthur will stay in your mind long after the book ends. Recommend.

I loved that there were familiar characters through the book. I had a few favourites , Rose was a woman with a big heart, Miss Vee kind, Harry loving and caring. Least favourite, most definitely Reg.
