A Tale of Dignity and Survival
However Long the Day is a family saga set in the harsh mining communities of Michigan and Montana, and the lush Pacific Northwest.
Lorna, a young woman from the Canadian Maritimes, ruled as often by her heart as her head, runs away from an arranged marriage into the arms of a charming, roguish immigrant miner. After his untimely death, she endures demeaning and exhausting work to support and protect her family, but it is not enough to keep her family intact. Grace, forms a parallel story, navigating love, treachery, and society's expectations.
Set against a backdrop of two world wars and the Great Depression, two generations of women fight for their dignity and survival, often with grit and resilience as their only weapons against financial devastation, betrayal, and the darkest of times. This intimate story captures the complexities, fissures, and joys of daily family life.
