		Janet Lunn, as one of the co-authors of The Story of Canada (1992), is most aware of the many stories of hardship and heroism that are a part of Canada's past.

		Lunn's writing is at her best when she transforms this seemingly pleasant community into a village that has moved beyond peaceable relations to an environment characterized by fear and violence.
