In Her Glory is Marian Frances White’s homage to her mother, Florence. This journey in short prose and poetry reveals the grit, resiliency, and resourcefulness of a woman who raised 12 children through the early years of Confederation.
White revisits and explores her younger years growing up in Carbonear, Newfoundland, with the underlying premise that women who raised huge families are our unsung heroines. White celebrates her mother’s contribution to our culture and world, giving Florence a voice while finding her own. Deeply rooted in Newfoundland experience and culture, In Her Glory sheds light on a way of life that has all but disappeared.
