Overview
Laura's Story is about the life, struggles, and triumphs of an Acadian woman born in Chéticamp, Cape Breton, Nova Scotia in ...1920. When she is widowed, penniless and alone with three small children, she takes a job at a convent in Montreal. She returns with a beleaguered body and spirit but with a firmer resolve than ever to keep her family together. Yet when she develops tuberculosis, she is taken away again, this time for two and a half years to the sanitorium in Kentville. While Laura struggles to hold on to her boys and find her place in the world, the family members' stories develop, weave and unfold. Over the years of their lives, we see courage and perseverance firsthand, and we are moved by the true meaning of family and love.
