Along the way, she notes her feelings of despair and hope through candid diary entries. Fourteen-year-old Marie records in her journal more than ten years of the travails of the Acadian people as they are exiled by the British from what came to be called Nova Scotia, try to forge a new life in Maryland, and finally move to Louisiana.
