<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><b>A <i>Toronto Star</i> and <i>Globe and Mail</i> Bestseller! </b><br/><br/> On an August afternoon in 1914, the Stephens family acknowledged what most Canadians knew: Canada was at war. They acknowledged it without knowing the innocence they would lose; the beleaguered state they would assume. Welcome to the world of Jessie Stephens, an inquisitive girl about to become a modern woman; her brother who vied for the Mann Cup in Vancouver and military victory in Greece; her sister whose chance for love was put asunder by bigotry. Written by the great-niece of the real-life Jessie, <i>The Beleaguered</i> follows the Stephens family at home in Brampton, to the war effort far beyond.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>A lovingly crafted work, so engaging, pulsing with life, sensitive to the foibles of family relationships. I love the wry humour, gentle handling of tragedy, of constrained family competition, of church, and of politics. The Innocent is a wonderful study of social relationships in a small community. I'm much touched by the chapter on starting school, and the quiet, non critical intervention of Uncle James to still the child's fears when passing the Iron Works Repair Shop. It would rival any of James Rainey's small town tales.--Ruth Redelmeier, Ontario Historian </p><br>
