Description
This story is based on a true event, recorded for the public by The Canadian Museum of Immigration at Pier 21 in Halifax, Nova Scotia, and reproduced with its author's blessing.
It's 1958, and Faith and her family are leaving Wales for a new life in Canada. Grieving at what she must leave behind, Faith cherishes a hope that maybe, just maybe, one of her favourite things will follow….and it does. When Faith and her family arrive at their new home, she sees something comfortingly familiar - the moon has followed her there!
