Description:
Providence, the first in the McBride Chronicles series, ì
describes the sweeping story of two parallel lives - Jane ì
Hopkins, an orphaned young girl from England and Gideon McBride, ì
the son of a poor fisherman from Scotland - who separately travel ì
to the New World in search of a better life. Their individual ì
stories contain hardship, adventure, intrigue, deception and lies ì
but, above all, a great love as they each find their way to ì
survive in an unforgiving world - Jane through music and a ì
desperate need for the foundations of a happy family life, and ì
Gideon through a desire to escape from a lifestyle he was ì
expected to embrace.
The beginning of the McBride family dynasty starts in ì Victoria, British Columbia's capital city, and is set against a ì backdrop of the Province's vivid history - from the days of the ì first gold rush along the mighty Fraser River, the incorporation ì of Victoria as a city, and a smallpox epidemic that decimated the ì Indigenous population - to B.C. joining confederation in 1871. ì This book describes the moral as well as the corrupt days of ì early colonization.
This book is new.
