Petit Nord
'Petit Nord' Summary
Anne MacLanahan Grenfell, a young woman with a heart for service, traveled to St. Anthony, Newfoundland and Labrador, in the late 19th century to dedicate a year of her life to working at an orphanage. This book compiles the letters she wrote during that time, offering a unique window into her personal journey. Through her words, readers gain insight into the daily realities of life in the harsh and isolated region, the hardships faced by the orphans, and the challenges of running a charitable institution. Anne's letters also provide an intimate look at her own evolving faith and her dedication to serving others. She writes about the joys of working with the children, the difficulties of navigating a challenging environment, and the profound impact the experience had on her spiritual development. 'Petit Nord' offers a poignant and insightful reflection on the power of faith, compassion, and the transformative nature of human connection.Book Details
