pickThis was a tough read but so important. The author seems to have done her research and I appreciated how she incorporated the true stories she was told into this book. 4/5 ⭐️

Oof this has been a tough read! But I‘m glad I‘m reading it thanks to @Jess861 and the #OhCanada buddy read. I‘m a tad behind but learning so much about an important part of Canadian history of which I was quite unaware.

I don't think many read this book or that it was super popular with those who did - so just going to post one general discussion question for this #OhCanada book. Just general thoughts on the book and if you'd read this author again? Or whatever you want to discuss when it comes to this book :).
Greetings from the house of sickness!
My son went on a school trip and the gift he brought home was Covid. None of us have had it before, but we're all fully vaxxed and boostered, so it isn't *too* terrible.
I committed to entirely too many things this month. I finished the May book for #bobwhitebuddies so I'm only a book behind. I did manage to finish this month's reading for #europacollective and #KLBR. I'm behind on #beyondtheyellowbrickroad.
bailedI‘ve made it to 35% but I‘m going to bail now. I have no doubt a lot of Barnado‘s children were treated as badly as this, but the book feels too much like trauma porn to me. Sorry @Jess861 #OhCanada
In My Own Moccasins by Helen Knott was picked in the vote as the #OhCanada July/August read. All are welcome in this bi-monthly read where we explore Canadian authors. Discussion questions are posted at the end of the second month for those who wish to participate.
I finished re-reading The Forgotten Home Child just like I started - with a Dragonfruit drink. It is a beautiful day for some backyard reading.
Just about two weeks until some discussion points are posted about the book for #OhCanada. I do hope those who get the chance to read it are enjoying the book while learning a bit about Canada's history (that even as a Canadian I knew nothing about until this book). I will post discussions on July 1st.
