Behind the Scenes: The Stars Above

2/10/2016

0 Comments

 
Recently, I published my latest novel: The Stars Above. 
​
The story follows a young girl from the slums of Liverpool as she gets sent to Canada as a Home Child. Under the care of the Martin's she grows and learns to make her own way in the world. The full summary can be found on the books page. 

Seeing as this has been an ongoing project for the last two years I did a lot of research on the topic in order to try to keep my story as authentic as possible. I thought I would share some of my findings here...

This is "Our Western Home" opened by Maria Rye and it is where Sara Roth spent her first weeks in Canada.

These are similar to the streets Sara would have walked down and the apartments she would have lived in.
