Description
Book Three in The McBride Chronicles series is the story of Sarah McBride’s two sons, Stephen and Caleb.
Stephen’s story tells of his love for Letty Caldwell and their heart-breaking experiences during WW1 and the effect this all has on the family back in Victoria. Their story also includes the spread of the Spanish Flu around the world after the war.
Sarh’s own life continues as she travels aboard the ill-fated SS Princess Sophia from Alaska to Vancouver in 1918.
Her younger son, Caleb (Cal) is passionate about flying and his life story encompasses the birth of aeronautics in British Columbia, including both barnstorming and bush flying. His WWII experiences take him to England where he earns a distinguished merit award as a bomber pilot. In England he meets Maggie Graham and fate once more plays an ironic part.
Upon the death of Providence’s matriarch in Victoria in 1945, will the future of the McBride dynasty survive and the legacy continue?
