Description
Sent to the New World against his will, Joseph Taylor rises to become an important adviser to Prime Minister King. When a boatload of European Jews lands on Canadian shores, Joseph is sent to turn them back—only to discover his brothers among the refugees. From the noted author of Patience, It's All True, and Reading Hebron comes this wrenching look at a family divided.
