Description

"Grace and the Secret Vault" is an historical novel set in 1919, centring upon Grace Woodsworth, a thirteen year old girl living with her family in Gibson's, B.C. In 1919, Canada was reeling from the consequences of the "Great War". Grace, the central character, is critical of her father's social activism because of its impact on their family. During the course of the novel she comes to a better understanding of her parents' principles. When her father is caught up in a General Strike in Winnipeg in the spring of 1919, she finds a way to help him and her family.

The father in the story is J.S. Woodsworth and the novel is based on real characters and events. In the mid-1960s to mid- 1970s, Grace, as Grace MacInnis, became a strong voice on women's issues and other social issues in the House of Commons.

"Grace and the Secret Vault" is short-listed for the 2017 "Northern Lit" award for English fiction, presented annually by Ontario Library Services North and Northern Ontario libraries.
