A Toronto Star and Globe and Mail Bestseller! On an August afternoon in 1914, the Stephens family acknowledged what most Canadians knew: Canada was at war. They acknowledged it without knowing the innocence they would lose, the beleaguered state they would assume. Welcome to the world of Jessie Stephens, an inquisitive girl about to become a modern woman, her brother who vied for the Mann Cup in Vancouver and military victory in Greece, her sister whose chance for love was put asunder by bigotry.Written by the great-niece of the real-life Jessie, The Beleaguered follows the Stephens family at home in Brampton, to the war effort far beyond.
