It`s Brighter on the Horizon
Joyce Watson
When Oliver Riley leaves behind England for Canada, he believes he is doing so in search of a better life but what he leaves behind is a family on the brink of collapse. Set in the early twentieth century, It’s Brighter on the Horizon shows the inspiration of a person and its consequences on a woman and children.
Key aspects of the story include emigration, broken families and the choices made with their consequences. It is a saga of hope, betrayal, endurance and survival.
The author’s own journey through the manuscript is also highlighted as she travels across Canada and the US following the footsteps of her grandfather. A great story shifting between past and present, It’s Brighter on the Horizon meditates on memory and pardon. It draws readers to ask if the future is really as bright as they think.
