"After reading many books, newspapers and mining journals on the history of coal mining on Vancouver Island and after talking to oldtimers, I decided to create a coal miner's daughter who in this story shares memories of being raised in three coal mining communities: Wellington, Extension and Oyster Harbour - later renamed Ladysmith.

The factual information woven throughout this story is based on my research of the time period 1896 to 1910." - Author's Message. 36 pages generously illustrated with colour and black and white photos.
