It’s WOW this week (World Orphan Week). A subject that we perhaps shy away from when talking about families to children. The classic tale of Anne of Green Gables now has a prequel. Anne Shirley had a difficult early life, orphaned as a baby, she was sent from one foster-home to the next, caring for other people's children even though she was but a child herself, and escaping from her dark reality through the power of her vivid imagination. Curious, inventive and outspoken, even at a young age, Anne battles to make a life for herself by searching out kindred spirits, finding solace in her books, and dreaming of the day she has a family of her own.
