On December 6, 1917, the French munitions ship Mont Blanc collided with the Belgian relief vessel Imo in the Halifax Harbour.

Amid the devastation that followed was fourteen-year-old Barbara Orr, who had been walking to a friend's house. Follow Barbara as she navigates postexplosion Halifax, learning about rescue efforts, the kindness of strangers and the bravery of everyday people.
