Leaving Newfoundland
tells the dramatic story of the people of Newfoundland and Labrador and
their bid to survive in a place of uncompromising hardship. The continual
conflicts with a bleak environment, unjust laws, and a disinterested
colonial master that simply wished them to go away are realistically
described herein. As the trickle of out-migrants turns into a flood, the
hardships of the province are replaced by new challenges and setbacks. New
skills, new customs, and new lives must be formed out of the clay of the
old. With their feet on a new land but their hearts firmly entrenched in the
old, Newfoundlanders and Labradorians must survive in new worlds not their
own. Global issues of today have great and unexpected consequences for the
entire province.
