The Hidden Children
Paperback
(Forgotten Books Jan. 23, 2018)
Excerpt from The Hidden Children
No undue liberties with history have been attempted in this romance. Few characters in the story are purely imaginary. Doubtless the fastidious reader will distinguish these intruders at a glance, and very prop erly ignore them. For they, and What they never were, and What they never did, merely sugar - coat a dose dis guised, and gild the solid pill of fact with tinselled fic tion.
But from the flames of Poundridge town ablaze, to the rolling smoke of Catharines-town, Romance but limps along a trail hewed out for her more dainty feet by History, and measured inch by inch across the bloody archives of the nation.
