"Grandma's Steamer Trunk" is an accounting of early twentieth-century courage, pluck, trust, and faith. Based on promises made, a remarkable young English woman says farewell to all she has ever known--her family, her church, her community, and her country. She sails away on rough seas with an infant in her arms, a two-year-old clutching her skirt, and an old steamer trunk. What did she pack in that old trunk? Merely travel necessities? Meaningful family mementos? Items significant to her homeland traditions? These were daunting forever choices. Ultimately, the trunk will be tossed onto a Canadian wharf as she and her young sons disembark to a new country and an uncertain future.
