'I promise I will always look afta' my sista' no matter what, I will never let go of her hand.' Little did young Simone realize as she made this promise to her aunt, that she and young Catherine would spend the next 65 years trying to reconnect. Abandoned by their parents and separated by the British adoption system, these two young girls would face impersonal orphanages, brutal boarding-out homes, a world war and separation by an ocean before they finally met again -- in Victoria B.C. This is their story as told to the daughter of one of them. It is a story of pain and courage -- and hope. Read the story behind the front page headlines in the Victoria Times Colonist, and the national television coverage of their reunion in 1996. It is a story that will live in your heart.
