Prisoners in the Promised Land (Marsha Forchuk Skrypuch)


Good Reads sums the story up like this:

Anya and her family have made a difficult journey to Canada in search of a new life. But soon after they arrive in the land they hoped would welcome them, World War I is declared, and Ukrainians are considered “enemy aliens” — many of them sent away to internment camps. Anya must find a way to deal with the challenges in the land she now calls home.

This is the first of the Dear Canada series I have read. I was pleasantly surprised at how enlightening it was. It sounded like it was quite historically accurate and it was written in a way that made the story very compelling. I would definitely recommend it. I plan to read more books from this series this summer!
