About Author

Clarence A. Boon

(Portrait from his 1985 book, ''It's Never too Late'') Clarence A. [Alton] Boon was born at Davidson, Saskatchewan. He lived through the thirties, knowing what a time it was to get an education. All members of the family had to work at an early age to keep food on the table. He started farming on his own in 1937. The worst year of the thirties. He had to move to southeastern Saskatchewan that year in order to feed his stock. Eleven years later he moved to Virden, Manitoba, where he still farms a two-section mixed farm, with the help of his family. As soon as his oldest son gets married, and takes over the farm, he and his wife are going to retire to a house beside the Assiniboine River, where he hopes to have more time to write.--(1975 'about author,' in ''I was a Step-child,'' by Clarence A. Boon)

Description

This is a story about Europeans immigrating to homestead on the Canadian Prairies, and what a lonesome, lonesome life it was to what they had been accustomed to in the crowded villages in their home land. It shows that if money was spent foolishly, it could soon disappear, even to the point where their children had to be put into homes. So many of those Orphanages in England in the 1800s were homes that used the children for labour purposes, but when these children were turned out into the world, most of them made out all right. One thing that was always against them, was that they had no idea of love because they hadn't received any love in the Orphanages. They all knew how to work, and with those lonesome homesteaders and friendly neighbors, most of them made a name for themselves. Some were even well rewarded in the end.
