Summary:

"Set in Conne River, Bay D'Espoir, John Nick Jeddore's richly detailed memoir begins when he was a boy in the 1920s and 1930s. His historical account tells us about unique aspects of the life of people of Conne River, and makes a major contribution to our understanding of life "on the country," life in Conne River, and life beyond that community, in places as far away as the U.K. during the Second World War. As much a fixture of the community as the cornerstone of its Catholic church, John Nick recounts a life of following in his ancestors footsteps, and attempts to reconcile that heritage with a changing world, vanishing culture, and nearly-lost language. His memoir will serve as a legacy to scholars and future generations alike."-- Provided by publisher.
