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.
