Preface

"Anya's family was forced to spend part of World War I at Spirit Lake Interment Camp. They were regarded not only as foreigners but as "enemy aliens" who needed to be kept apart for Canada's security. Poverty still fogs them, even though Anya's factory job helps out. Yet this Christmas promises to be happier than last year in the isolated internment camp...if old resentments can be laid to rest."
