A wry, autobiographical account of a girl growing up in a large, chapel-going, working-class family in the dockland area of Garston, Liverpool, between the Great Depression of the 1930s and the Coronation of Queen Elizabeth II in 1953. Beatrice Smith's family had many camping and cycling adventures in Wales, and also to London for the Festival of Britain as well as the Coronation.
In April 1994, ten-year-old Beatrice came face to face with the Rwandan genocide when machete wielding killers burst into her family's home, seeking their lives. Forced to flee, Beatrice and her family found themselves moving from one country to another in search of safety and rest. Destitute refugees, they faced innumerable challenges along the way, but also experienced God's provision and miraculous rescue. Now settled in the UK, Beatrice reflects on the tumultuous journey that brought her here and how God worked healing and restoration. Told through the eyes of a child, The Search for Home is an inspirational story that gives insight into the plight of millions of refugees today.
