EVEN IF WE CRY

By Terrie Todd

 “This was a part of WWII history I was not aware of. I didn't know anything of Canada's crucial role in the war effort or of the many families who hosted these evacuee children in their homes and treated them as one of their own. I hesitated reading this book because, well . . . war, but once I started I could hardly put it down. A fantastic story of ultimate self-sacrifice, love, and forgiveness—Terrie Todd has a new reader fan in me . . . even if I cried." (from an Amazon Reviewer)
