Abstract:
1899, Mathilda, a child bride, stands on the dock of Sheguiandah Reserve on Manitoulin Island. She is chilled to the bone after sailing across the frigid North Channel from the convent orphanage. Now, her new husband reveals there is no home, and no money.
An Ojibwe Indian offers them shelter and friendship.
Mathilda endures years of hardship. Through it all, she develops a strong sense of survival. As a young, beautiful widow, Mathilda asserts her sense of independence by becoming a successful entrepreneur. She falls in love, but still faces an ominous threat from World War One.
