Calificación del vendedor: 5 de 5 estrellas
Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book, a captivating blend of history and biography, unravels the lives of three young orphans who leave England in search of a better life in America only to face further hardship and loss. Set against the backdrop of 19th-century America, the author deftly portrays the struggles of these children as they navigate a world often indifferent to their plight. Through their journey, the work explores poignant themes of familial love, loss, and the resilience of the human spirit in the face of adversity. The insights it offers into the plight of orphans in the 19th century render this book a compelling read for those interested in American history, social welfare, and the enduring power of the human spirit.
