Episode Synopsis

Join Susanna Moodie as she vividly recounts her experiences navigating the challenges of life in the unforgiving woods of Upper Canada. As an Englishwoman embarking on a homesteading adventure, her narrative serves as a candid counter to the misleading tales spun by European land agents about the New World. With a blend of humor and honesty, her story captured the hearts of readers upon its publication in 1852, making it a literary sensation. (Summary by Moira Fogarty)
