This book is an exploration of the lives of people who made the difficult decision to journey from the prairies of Canada to the paradise-like Okanagan Valley in British Columbia. Some of these families left their ranches in Manitoba full of hope, only to discover the allurements of their new home were vastly exaggerated. Others, had a more fulfilling experience, finding that the climate and land offered respite and new opportunity. The author explores the societal and economic complexities of the early 20th century Okanagan, immigration and settlement, while also offering insight into the human capacity to dream, to be disappointed, to persevere, and to find lasting joy in the face of adversity.
