BOOK - Mary Janeway, The Legacy of a Home Child.
by Mary Pettit
Mary Janeway, born in Scotland in 1887, came to Canada as a 'home child' at a very young age. Separated from her brothers and sisters, the 'tiny' Mary was sent as a domestic to a farm near Innerkip, Ontario.
This is Mary's story - a recreation of her life set in Victorian rural Ontario, from the time of the tradgedy that split her family to her eventual escape from the life of drudgery.
Robbed of her childhood years but buoyed by her inner resolve and indomitable spirit, Mary Janeway reveals the tragic events surrounding this period in Canadian history - the Home Children.
Mary Janeway was godmother to author Mary (Hewson) Pettit.
Authors Note: "Mary Janeway is a real person. Over time she told her stories to me. Innerkip is a town in rural Ontario, in Oxford County. The Jacgues family did live outside of Innerkip.
Not all characters, however, are real; I chose names for them at random while wandering through Innerkip Cemetery one rainy afternoon. They are fictional and any resemblance to persons living or dead is purely coincidental. The book, The Early Days of Innerkip District by Zella Hotson, provided much of the historical context.
I have taken some literary liberties and indulged in some embellishments while conscious of preserving the integrity of my dstory. My intertion was to show compassion for characters and record the events accurately as my research and memory would permit."
