A touching multi-generational story of a family driven by dreams--postive and destructive--and family secrets. Nine-year-old Sara struggles to keep her fractious family together after the sudden death of her mother. This story, set in Grey County, rural Ontario, Canada, has woven into it accounts of one of Grey County's most famous women, Agnes Macphail, the first female Canadian Member of Parliament. Equally fascinating in Dreaming in Grey is the mystery of why and how the history of Black settlers in Grey County became lost.
