What pushed Aloisia to immigrate to the new world? A sincere and touching true story of love and commitment based on letters written between a young woman and her sweetheart during some of the most troubled periods in recent European history. A delightful perspective of the Canadian landscape and people through the eyes of a young woman in love who has no idea how tough life will be in the new world. Aloisia is a later Susanna Moodie and should be required reading for every student of Canadian history.
