"Seventy-five-year-old Mary Thompson Norris looks back on her life. She recalls the poverty of her native country, Ireland; her first husband's emigration to the new land; his brutal sea voyage and the prejudice he faced as an Irish Catholic. She remembers her own struggle as a newcomer when she learns her husband has died before her arrival. And finally, she traces the direction her own life took settling in south-western Ontario with her second husband."
