O knihe
"My Mamma? She is-?" Mercedee stifled a sob looking into Mathilde's eyes. "Yes. She's gone." Mathilde whispered her reply, drenched in sorrow. Mercedee dropped her bag in the dirt, weakly embraced Mathilde, then nearly collapsed onto her, completely spent from the journey. In June of 1892 at the tender age of 14 and finishing her first year away from Mamma Agnes at St. Anne's Convent School in Eel Brook Nova Scotia, Mercedee Meehan is on her own. Her father William, who she had not seen in years was in Boston struggling to support her and Mamma. Where would Mercedee go? Would she be able to continue in school? And how will she face the troubles ahead? With little money and outgrowing her clothes, she embarked on a journey searching for solace and independence in Victorian Nova Scotia.
