About this deal

Steena Holmes is a best-selling published author. She also writes books under other pen names, such as Anya Winter. She loves chocolate and the scent of vanilla and hates mushrooms. But Carol Hermiston, an Anishinaabe elder-in-residence at Algoma University and Nolan’s granddaughter, believes she has discovered the final resting place of her great aunt Emma more than 110 years later: in an unmarked grave inside a Catholic cemetery in Thunder Bay, Ont. Emma and Finn connect through their loved of music. Once they get over the awkwardness they both feel, they're magnetic. Finn is kind, warm, generous, funny, and ready to overcome his emotional hurtle to be with Emma.

Finding Emma Series by Steena Holmes - Goodreads

Swim to the very end of the hall and take a left to find the very useful Body Armor. Then, turn around and go into the closest door on your right and keep following the path until you resurface. Activate the node when you get here.The whole idea of a revenge list intrigued me. I knew to be on the lookout for a twisted ending, after all, that's what the Queen of endings does - she twists them and they're always a surprise to me.

After Emma’s disappearance, Megan started up the Walk Home Alone program. What do you think was the underlying reason for Megan starting up this program.

There are parts of this book that dragged on and had no real impact on the story other than to give that character some history, like Ag for example. She was a great mediator character but learning her past or her history didn't do much to help the story along. In mid-June of last year, Boissoneau decided to pass along Emma’s name to someone else: his friend, Tanya Talaga, an acclaimed writer and storyteller with roots in Ontario’s Fort William First Nation. Talaga worked for The Toronto Star for more than 20 years before becoming president and chief executive officer of Makwa Creative, a production company versed in Indigenous storytelling. Her great-grandmother, Liz Gauthier, was a residential school survivor. NY Times & USA Today Bestselling Author - Steena is the author of the heart wrenching Finding Emma series. It's a very basic Lifetime movie that's watchable for at least one viewing. Like I said above, the movie almost ruins itself with the early blunder of letting the little girl go off by herself given Alyssa's history and her PTSD, but I kept watching. I wanted little Emma to be ok, but I got tired of Alyssa. I like Jason-Shane and Jason Cook, but maybe JS should have been Emma's father. The movie should have had Emma's father more involved in trying to find her and he's never seen again after his one scene especially given that the movie makes it seem like Alyssa is the impediment to his relationship with his daughter. If nothing else, the documents show that both government and cemetery officials couldn’t even be bothered to get the girl’s name right. The child is alternatively referred to as ‘Ella Lafford,’‘Emma Laford’ and ‘Emma Lafort,’ leading to some confusion about the correct spelling of Emma's last name.

In Deadly Seduction (only mentioning this movie bc it's very similar), the protag didn't actually believe someone close to her was capable of the crimes happening. This is in spite of the character humiliating her in her personal life. Very different from Alyssa, who by the end of this really doesn't deserve those people remaining in her life. I really didn't care for how both of them allowed her to get away with accusing them of crimes because of reasons she made up in her head...and ironically, it was a pretty clear example of what Emma's dad was saying. Grace nor Grant need a friend like Alyssa. Emma was seven years old in 1907 when she was uprooted from her grandparents’ home in Michipicoten by an Indian agent — along with her older sister, Fannie Nolan — and placed in St. Joseph’s Indian Residential School in Fort William, Ont. Three years later, she ended up in a Port Arthur hospital. Finn Mathew is a man who has been broken in his young life, for heartbreak leaves its brand of scars. He isn’t looking for anything, he isn’t looking for love but most of all, he isn’t looking for Emma. Yet he finds her, and the good guy that he is, treasures her. The greatest part about this book is that it feels so real. The characters are believable, as is the plot. This story has the feels, the romance and the every day moments that are bound to make you swoon. FINDING EMMA should be finding its way into your hands immediately. 4.5 stars!Dottie is a strong woman with a conflicted past. It becomes evident early on that Dottie has some memory loss. When did you start to wonder that things weren’t as they seem at the farm house? The scene Megan witnessed at the cemetery was instrumental in her decision to say goodbye to Emma. How did you feel at that point? From there, everything started to come together. After connecting with Thompson, Hermiston would eventually obtain more historic records and documents needed to piece together Emma’s long-lost story. Knowing what we now know about the horrors of Canada’s residential school system, the records are difficult to read—yet another reminder of the pain and suffering endured by so many Indigenous children forced to attend those institutions. I'm not the type of person who likes to figure things out - although I know a lot of readers are like that. I prefer to enjoy the ride the author takes me on and this ride on The Revenge List was...curvy.

Megan has been affected by the loss of her daughter, and rightly so. But her preoccupation is affecting the rest of her relationships and her family and friends feel the distance. Her older daughters are frustrated by Megan’s refusal to give up the search, and even her husband wants her to accept that Emma has disappeared so that the family does not fall apart. It has been a long time since I've read a book that, when I finished it, I want to drop everything and post a review. I literally finished this book less than 30 minutes ago. It's also rare for a book to be on my mind this much. There is just so much I want to say about Finding Emma. Finn Mathew is your father. He is your brother. He is an epitome of every single man who spits in the face of misogyny. He is that man who loves every single part of you, even the bad ones. He is the man who fell for your scars first and your smile later. He is the man who has accepted your baggage and thinks it’s his privilege to carry it with you. He is the man you turn to at night, with full belief that you will never ever be turned away. Finn Mathews is the love of your life. There’s some reason that she was guided towards me, and there’s some reason I happened to know about a little girl named Emma,” Talaga says. “Our ancestors speak to us all the time. You just have to make sure you listen.” It is very hard to understand where this story takes a turn to reality, where it stops just being an adorable relationship you coo over to the one where it becomes a part of you. It isn’t just the writing that’s the best part of this book (though the writing is flawless), it is the fact that the characters, the plot, every single part of this book gets under your skin before you even realise it had happened, and now there is a itch, the kind that makes you think about reality, when all you want to do is bury your head in sand.Last August, Hermiston joined Thompson, Boissoneau and a couple of Hermiston’s family members in Thunder Bay to hold a ceremony for Emma at St. Andrew’s Catholic Cemetery. A month later, she held another ceremony at the Catholic cemetery in Garden River First Nation, where Emma’s sister, Fannie Nolan, is buried. Despite everything, Otacon will still breakdown as Emma's parrots repeats the words that she would say to it. As soon as Snake and Raiden begin to head off to Arsenal Gear, Mr. X will show up, saying how there's still a few things left to do. Mr. X will reveal their true identity and Snake will betray Otacon. Raiden will lose consciousness, which will put you into the final part of the game. A final scene will play showing the collapse of the Big Shell and Otacon flying out of there. Finding Emma is the first novel in the Finding Emma series written by Canadian author Steena Holmes. This is the first story in the series that introduces readers to the main character of Megan for the first time.
