Saddled with a mean, bedridden mother; an older, increasingly bitter sister; and a mainly absent father, Issy is desperate to leave her miserable life in Newfoundland. She has no friends her own age, she's failing in school, and the dearest person to her in the world, her great aunt, Lady, has just died. With the small legacy Lady left her, Issy is more determined than ever to escape when she turns sixteen, but there's one thing that is holding Issy back: she is illiterate. She can't read at all, and never could. How far can she really go?
Written by award-winning author Mary C. Sheppard, One for Sorrow, is the second book in the Tales from Cook's Cove series, featuring a complex and appealing heroine.
One for Sorrow is a heart-warming story of a complicated, pure-hearted and appealing heroine. Readers can run along on the riveting path of Issy's life and open their eyes to the ever-widening world, searching for comfort and love beside her. Clara Szeto
