Description
A colourful memoir of growing up on the Southside Road in St. Johns, Newfoundland, during the 1930s and 1940s. Porter brings to life the lost community of her childhood, and introduces us to the vibrant characters who lived there - longshoremen, housewives, sailors, coopers, midwives, and even a few prostitutes.
