Yesterday was a hard one. I unloaded two yards of clumpy wet fill dirt in 95 degree weather. Not fun, and I didn’t find a single frog. That was disappointing, but it is nice to know I have finished that part of the project. I think the hardest part is done. I still need to bring in a yard or two of soil, but that stuff is light and fluffy. It was hard work, but it was also a lot of fun to really start molding the shape of the yard. It no longer is long and flat, but now has lumps and bumps with a winding river. Today I am going to take it easy. Maybe go on a nice bike ride with the baby bassets. Here is a picture of the yard as it sits right now. I am sure I won’t be able to leave it alone this weekend.

The Forgotten Children: A chilling story inspired by true events
by Isabella Muir, Christoffer Petersen
Genre: Literature & Fiction | Family Life | Historical Fiction
FREE for a limited time
A woman’s search to find her son uncovers the shocking truth about one of Britain’s darkest periods
Struggling with the demons of her past, Emily is a children’s author with a dark secret, and a guilt that threatens to consume her. For twenty years she has lived in Brighton, England, trying to forget the day they took her baby from her, just hours after he was born. But now, in the summer of 1987, she decides to begin the search for her son.
Emily takes refuge in a small town on the Isle of Anglesey to plan the search, where she meets Walter, a gentle stranger, who helps her with his words of wisdom and kindness. But it is when she decides to return home to Hastings, that she really has to face her demons.
Estranged from her parents when she was just sixteen, Emily is shocked by what her mother has to tell her about events that occurred before Emily was even born.
Beside her, throughout her search, is Emily’s beautiful Irish friend, Geraldine, recovering from her own sad experiences. Together they uncover a truth that shocks them all.
The Forgotten Children draws the reader into lives affected by narrow-minded beliefs and blinkered thinking at the highest level. Children who weren’t allowed to be born, children who were abandoned, and children who were taken, forced to lead a life thousands of miles away from everyone and everything they knew – leaving scars that may never heal.
At its heart, The Forgotten Children is a story of survival, but the journey that Emily has to take is painful. Even more so because she knows it was allowed to happen by individuals, religions and governments, who should have known better.
