Summary:
"Eleven-year-old
Triffie
is the middle daughter of a well-to-do merchant.
Triffie
knows nothing about what it means to be poor — until the disastrous
fire
of 1892 burns down most of St. John's, Newfoundland, leaving
Triffie
's family and 15,000 others homeless. The
fire
claimed everything but their underwear, Mother's best china . . . and
Triffie
's journal. With no other options,
Triffie
's family moves into a filthy warehouse while they attempt to rebuild their lives from the ground up. The aftermath of the
fire
teaches
Triffie
a lot about what it means to survive. More importantly, she comes face to face with her own prejudices, and begins to develop a much greater appreciation for how the less fortunate live. "--From publisher.
