This book is a series of 10 short stories of things that happen after the dismissal bell rings. The connections are that all the main characters go to the same school (although they don’t necessarily know each other) and all the main action takes place the same day. Careful readers will be able to find more connections in the text and find one phrase that appears in all 10 stories.

An amazing sequel to The Watchmaker of Filigree Street. This 1880s historical fantasy is about a clairvoyant man who manipulates events to change the course of history but is captured by a government official for research after returning home to a turbulent Japan with his partner and their adopted daughter. A great Historical/Sci-Fi/Fantasy/Romance

No Journey Too Far Carrie Turansky

I loved the first book and learning all about English home children who were moved to Canada and adopted or indentured to families willing to take them in. I remember thinking I can't wait for the next book. I enjoyed this book greatly. It starts 10 years later which wasn't quite what I had expected, but the story continued, I learned more about the home children, and it was satisfying to really learn about the struggles and strains of four specific children as they were recalled and shared from their young adult perspective. We learn more of all the McAllister's but the focus of the book is on Garth and Grace McAllister, and Emma and Rob other home children who came alongside Garth in his indentured servant life. I like that the author was intentional and focused on Psalm 9:9-10 and integrated this concept throughout the book. Love is the crucial theme that overcomes so much and affects our very being and existence. Lack of love and acceptance can impact a person's life greatly, but the love of God can impact it beyond even person to person or family love. I appreciate this theme's development across the book, and the central focus on faith, spiritual development, and learning to appreciate God. Thankful to partner with Waterbrook Publishing and read an advanced copy of this sequel. It is a pleasurable read.
