Paperback. Bertha, a spirited 23-year-old mill worker from Oldham, and with nothing but a heart full of hope and a stack of postcards, Bertha sets sail to Labrador to teach at a mission school, eager to make a difference and learn from the land and its people.Through Bertha's postcards home, readers experience her transformative journey - one filled with laughter, heartbreak and friendship.Witness her thrilling rides on dog sledges, share in the warmth of Christmas beneath a thick quilt of white, and hear the lively echoes of a new language as she forms deep bonds with the children in her care.Yet, as the seasons change, she hears of abuse within the missionary walls and the unsettling gaze of a Hudson's Bay Company man who threatens to disrupt her newfound home. Find yourself immersed in a tale that will echo in your heart long after the last page is turned. A fictionalised story of my grandmother Bertha Lewis's experiences in Labrador teaching at the Moravian missions 1930-1933. Richly illustrated with Bert's own photos and those of her sister This item is printed on demand. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
