Hughina Harold paints a powerful picture of a world that no longer exists in this compelling first-hand account of her experiences as a young teacher/nurse in a remote BC village in the 1930s. Fresh from nursing school in Victoria and eager to get started in her career, Harold could not have imagined the challenges that awaited her on isolated Village Island on BC's majestic coast. When she left her home in Victoria to share with two elderly missionaries a drafty, leaky float home that tilted with the tides, the clash of cultures 'Miss B'. experienced could not have been more extreme. Ferried in unreliable boats to remote outposts to treat the sick, attending births in the most primitive conditions, and teaching-from standard, middle-class textbooks-children who had never even seen a car, this gutsy young woman 'witnessed things that should not be forgotten'. Totem Poles and Tea-now updated with original photos
