"A poignant, evocative, and engaging read..." - The Prairies Book Review "A wide-ranging novel that will provide much food for thought and discussion among any with an interest in the foundations of courage, convictions about equality for all, and how a nation handles (or mishandles) its immigrant influx and their absorption in and contributions to society." - Midwest Book Review An Unexpected Father, the second novel in the Collingwood Series, continues the extraordinary story of the young boy who was forced to leave his home country of China for Canada to escape the terrors of Mao's regime. Winson, now married to Caitlin, dreams of a contented life in Canada despite his apprehensions about his immigrant roots. Winson's peace is shattered when Tak, a leader of the human trafficking ring whose clutches Winson escaped earlier, arrives back in Winson's life, determined to settle old scores. Winson finds himself at a crossroads, and how will he choose between doing what's right or betraying his own conscience and living with guilt? Fans of Celeste Ng's Our Missing Hearts and Lisa See's Lady Tan's Circle of Women, will enjoy this captivating story of history, suspense, and love. What readers are saying... "This fascinating coming-of-age journey, focusing on the strength of family and friendship, forgiveness, redemption, integrity, racism, and issues of immigration, and fans of historical fiction will be enthralled." Goodreads ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "I feel invested in the endearing cast of characters and cannot wait to see how their journeys end in the third book. Apart from the fictional story, this book offers a glimpse into a place and time I previously knew nothing about. The history behind the story is fascinating and, that alone makes this book an excellent read." Goodreads ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "Engrossing and elegant, Fillis' second installment in the Collingwood Series explores relationships, endurance, desires, and means of survival." Goodreads ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "This sequel to A Heart to Survive is even more captivating and thrilling than the first novel. It is epic historical fiction at its finest- with intrigue, romance, tragedy, injustice, and racial prejudice. It really delivers." Goodreads ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Author's Note: the Collingwood Series should be read in chronological order and not as individual stand-alone titles because of the background of events, characters, and storylines in A Heart to Survive.
