Klappentext
In Finding Molly Johnson, Mark McGowan traces what happened to the many orphaned children who fled Ireland's Great Famine and made the long voyage to Canada. Most were not considered members of their placement families, but rather sources of cheap labour. The book revisits an important chapter of the Irish emigrant experience, revealing that the story of Canada's acceptance of the famine orphans is a product of national myth-making.
