Far from Home: Dr. Grenfell's Little Orphan

Clarissa, 11, has been orphaned by a disease that has kept her far from home for as long as she can remember. Despite the many inmates in Dr. Grenfell's Children's Home on Newfoundland's northern tip, she lives a lonely life. She longs to be able to do something as simple as push her feet into boots in a blink and skip down the road holding hands with Cora, her best friend. Will Clarissa ever get to go home? There are times when she is not even sure if she wants to go. What if she doesn't like anyone? Worse - what if no one likes her?Strowbridge, Nellie P. is the author of 'Far from Home: Dr. Grenfell's Little Orphan', published 2004 under ISBN 9781894463614 and ISBN 1894463617.
