Summary:
"The past. In 1888, Annie Fraser reconnects with her older brother, Edward, after more than thirty years. She is determined to learn about her family's past, yet is wary of the dramatic secret he promises to reveal. She hopes it will explain her traumatic childhood loss. The present. One hundred and twenty-five years later, Ann Louise Stevens, Annie's descendant, has been investigating this family. Her earliest known ancestors were Hugh and Sophia Fraser who made the treacherous voyage to Nova Scotia in 1773, aboard the
Hector
. Ann's research reveals the challenges they faced, and those of three subsequent generations of this immigrant family, including a grandson, Edward. He left Nova Scotia to work on a Jamaican sugar plantation and fell in love. His two
children
, Edward and Annie, eventually returned to Nova Scotia and, in the end, came to a decision about the family secret. Seeking to confirm her suspicions about this secret, Ann has a DNA test in 2014 and discovers the truth. Ann, and co-author Pamela Edwards, have created
Children
of the
Hector
by weaving together fact and fiction, bringing to life a family's struggles, successes and a long lost secret."--P. [4] of cover.
