Set in 18th-century Montreal, this inspiring historical short story follows young Marie-Louise, an orphan raised by the Sisters of Charity under Mother Marguerite d'Youville. When a mysterious child is found abandoned on the riverbank, Marie-Louise risks her life to bring the little one to safety. As fire threatens their hospital and home, faith, courage, and the providence of God guide the sisters and their friends through danger.

Blending history, faith, and heartfelt storytelling, this tale celebrates Christian charity, trust in God's mercy, and the small acts of goodness that yield an infinite harvest.
