TRIXI'S REVIEW:
This is an eye-opening look at a disaster that happened in December of 1917 in Halifax Nova Scotia. A piece of history I didn’t know existed but appreciated learning through the expert pen of Terrie Todd. She brought it to vivid detail in the lives of her characters by both their reactions and emotions. It’s also a romance story which prevails through the tough times that happen afterwards...one that tests the love of Oliver and Pearline. I think for me this story touched on a lot of emotion that fully involved me. What a truly enjoyable read!
Faith-filled and emotional, you can’t help but be completely immersed in the pages of this story!!

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?
