About the Book

This book is a treasure among the works of Robert Hunter. He spent years crafting this saga but sadly was unable to get it published before his death in 2005.

The Story

The story is a three generational saga. The focus of the story is that of the life of the oldest girl in a large French-Canadian prairie family, Bernadette. Bernadette is always looking for an escape from the stilted life she experiences.

Journey and Themes

We venture with her and feel what it is like to be a child of the prairies in the early part of the 20th century. Her journey is at times heartfelt, at other times painful, and at the end of a long road, we find that it has always been, human.
