A woman from Ontario is buried and her papers reveal a mystery. The author took on the most important assignment of his career when investigating the secret of why his mother took a lifelong secret to her grave. In searching for clues, he went to a town where his ancestors were believed to have built the railway. During his search, the author explores the place of families in Canadian society and reveals shameful ongoing discrimination against native people and abusive treatment of illegitimacy.
