Joshua's Song by: Joan Hiatt Harlow
Boston, 1919. Thirteen-year-old Joshua Harper has lost nearly everything — his father to the influenza epidemic, his choir voice to adolescence, and his schooling to the weight of family hardship. Forced to leave his education behind, Joshua takes to the streets as a newspaper boy, trying to help his mother make ends meet.
Life on the bustling Boston streets is tougher than he imagined, especially with “Charlestown Charlie,” a rough-and-ready newsie who doesn’t take kindly to competition. But when disaster suddenly strikes the city — the real-life Great Molasses Flood — Joshua must summon courage and compassion to help others. In the chaos, he discovers something unexpected: the strength to find his own voice again.
Based on true historical events, Joshua’s Song is a moving tale of loss, resilience, and hope set against a fascinating moment in American history. Joan Hiatt Harlow weaves history and heart into a story that lingers long after the final page.
