About this listen
Short Story Press presents "Canadian Family Adventure", by Deb Williamson.
"Canadian Family Adventures" follows the tale of 10 Irish siblings who immigrate to Canada in the late 1880s. Their mother, Maggie Collins, wants her children, between the ages of 10 years old and 30 years old, to have a good life, and she arranges for them to sail to Canada.
The ten siblings arrive in Canada by ship, and each one settles in a different area of Canada and pursues a different career.
- Sean, 28 years old, settles in Halifax, Nova Scotia, and becomes a fisherman.
- Ian, 26 years old, settles in New Brunswick and becomes a logger.
- Maria, 10 years old, settles in a rural community in Quebec and is going to become a veterinarian.
- Molly and John, the 15-year-old twins, settle in the city of Toronto, Ontario. Molly is going to become a school teacher and John, a banker.
- Lucas, 19 years old, settles in a Northern Ontario community and hopes to become a mayor.
- Joseph, 21 years old, settles in the Thunder Bay, Ontario, area and becomes a firefighter.
- Andrew, 23 years old settles in Manitoba and becomes a wheat farmer.
- Robert, 22 years old, settles in Calgary, Alberta, and becomes a cattle rancher.
- Patrick, 30 years old, does not really settle anywhere. However, he becomes a train engineer and travels back and forth across Canada and helps keep his siblings in touch with what they each are doing.
