    A Sunday morning wander in the Park de la Ligue Ar A Sunday morning wander in the Park de la Ligue Arabe.

I first learned about this chapter of Canadian history while wandering in Hintonburg with my friend Nicole. When @gengrahamauthor released her historical fiction entitled The Forgotten Home Child, I couldn't wait to get my hands on. And it was a page turner.
