In her debut novel, Emily Wierenga shares a fictional re-telling of the true story of the founders of Bethany Homes for Children. From 1948 to 1991 the Jespersens fostered more than 800 children, caring for up to 55 at any given time. Their home was a set of old army barracks on an expanse of Albertan farmland that they transformed into a haven of hope and a hospital for broken little souls. Mended by love, "children who had never been taught how to smile...cracked the world in half with laughter." A freelance writer and artist who served on Bethany Homes ́Board of Directors, Wierenga has lovingly written "Save My Children" in honour of Bethany Homes ́60th anniversary.
