A child seeks her identity on the windswept prairies of Alberta, Canada under the influence of three diverse cultures. Her family of English immigrants carry on the morals and cultures of their homeland, while they manage Old Sun School, the residential school for Blackfoot Indian children at the Anglican Mission. Florence is sent to school in nearby Gleichen, where she hears different accents and habits than those she's learned at home. The Dust Bowl, the Great Depression, and WWII also affected her emerging sense of self. In this book, Florence shares her memories and gives us a clear view of the time and place of her coming of age.
