Chapter 15: Conclusion

In Canada you do not so much realize that you are in a strange land, being still under the English flag and all the people or their ancestors having come from the British Isles....

In her concluding chapter, Emma reflects on her first year since leaving England and provides words of encouragement and advice to those who are considering a similar move. Emma discusses the difficulties in obtaining education for her children and in establishing regular church services. Despite some challenges, however, Emma is optimistic that each year will bring improvements to their lives and to the growing settlement around them.
