About this ebook

'Johnnie hadn't minded playing toy theatre with them but wasn't going to play with girls outside, so he went and sat beside Grandad who said it was about time they had a man-to-man talk. That's when he said the thing about him and Tommy being his most important grandchildren because they would be the ones to carry the Kentson name on to the next generation of lightermen. Something told Johnnie that it was not the right time to say that he wanted to be a soldier in the cavalry when he grew up...'

The story of Holly and her children, Jamie and Carolyn, a recently bereaved family in contemporary Canada, is juxtaposed on the story of their mid-Victorian ancestors, for whom death is just another part of life, in London's overcrowded communities of river workers.

Author

Jean Jardine Miller

After a long career as an advertising copywriter, developer/designer of business communications materials and researcher/editor/ghostwriter of a number of small press non-fiction books, Jean Jardine Miller is now concentrating on writing novels featuring Canadian families and the challenges they face in life. A consistently increasing audience is enjoying the first four, "Fate and Angus McGrath", "Daffodil Dancing", The Family History" and "From Ragged London to the Garden of Eden" She is currently at work on her fifth. This is, as yet untitled, and picks up some years after "From Ragged London to the Garden of Eden" following the lives of the children of Tom and Annie Denton, the young brother and sister brought to Canada from the East End of London as child immigrants in nineteenth century.
