Longing Place
By Jean Little (Viking)
This novel is dedicated to "all Kids who live with adoptive parents, grandparents, foster parents or others who love them so much that they share with them a belonging place". Set in Scotland and Upper Canada in the 1840's, it is the story of the Gordon family and their emigration from Scotland to Fergus, Ontario. It is written through the eyes of Elspet Mary Gordon, their adopted daughter who is haunted by a sense of loss and of belonging to no one. It is her journey to a place and a sense of belonging helped and enhanced by love.
