Description: The story continues ... the second in this series. In this novel, we meet Maria as she leaves Rhode Island, pregnant and alone. Two years later, we also meet Maria's older daughter, Nana (Rheauna), as she disembarks the train in Montreal, having crossed the continent from her grandparents' farm in Saskatchewan, called home to care for her one-year-old baby brother, Théo, while Maria works. Along the way, Crossing the City affectionately and accurately depicts Montreal's Plateau neighbourhood at the beginning of the last century.
