Summary:
"In the midst of the Irish famine,
Johanna
flees one disaster - only to land in another. After a massive potato famine strikes Ireland, thirteen-year-old
Johanna
Leary
flees to Canada with her family. But
typhus
and other illnesses plague the 'coffin ships,' so named for the staggering number of immigrants who died enroute. One by one
Johanna
loses the members of her family - first her baby brother on the journey over, then her mother in the Grosse Isle fever sheds where sick passengers are quarantined when they reach the port of Québec, and her father soon after.
Johanna
has only her brother Michael left when she sets foot on Canadian soil. When her brother is mistakenly told that she too has died, he sets off to find their uncle 'somewhere in Canada,' leaving
Johanna
to face a new life in a strange land... totally alone. A
Sea
of
Sorrows
captures a dreadful time in history for those desperate, impoverished Irish families who hoped to make Canada their home."--From publisher.
