Summary:
"Josie Penny’s life as part of a loving
Métis
family in an isolated corner of
Labrador
changed dramatically when she was taken away to a residential school. Abused by the students, Josie became increasingly angry and isolated from her family and community as she grew into her teens. At seventeen she left for
Goose
Bay to make her fortune and start her own life. On the
Goose
is the story of how Josie came to terms with her feelings of helplessness and isolation as she began to understand why she could not feel or express love. Josie Penny’s memoir is an inspiring true story of how love and hard work helped one
woman
triumph over adversity."--From publisher.
