This collection of stories traces four generations of the Lafreniere family in the fictional small town of Agassiz, Manitoba from the time of the great flood of 1950 to the present. We follow Mika, the matriarch, and her Metis husband Maurice through the uneasiness of their marriage thorgh the years. As their children grow up to pursue their own lives, the frustrations of one generation will collide with the dreams of another, and the past will leave an indellible mark on all that is to come.
