Jan E. Pikowsky's first book presents a gripping tale of two little
girls struggling to survive the rough streets of England in the
mid-1800s after their mother dies while their papa is assumed lost
at sea. The cliff-hanging turn of events tugs at the reader's
heart. This convoluted story is fast moving and filled with
surprises that thrill and disappoint as their grandmother,
desperate to find her daughter, without knowing she has passed
leaving these tender young girls orphaned. The father of the
children has survived a shipwreck while searching various islands
for exotic wood to create his beautiful intarsia seascape wall
panels. Stranded five years with only a pig for a companion; he
knows nothing of his families plight. He believes his luck has
turned when perchance, a ship anchors just off shore. His heart
falls as he sees the quarantine flag they are flying indicating
diseased inhabitants aboard. You will feel the anguish of this and
his young daughter's situation, in spite of glowing moments of
tenderness and good fortune which will delight and thrill the
reader's feelings of hopelessness of their circumstances.
