Description

Born during WWII in Liverpool, England, Tricia did not meet her father until he returned from military service when she was four. By then he was a stranger with strict rules and old-fashioned ideals, and she struggled to reconcile his authority with the small world she had known. When Tricia excelled at school, her mother championed her right to attend grammar school despite her father's reluctance. The tension simmered for years, coming to a head at sixteen when he pulled her from school and placed her in the factory where he worked. The monotonous routine felt suffocating.

Unwilling to accept a future chosen for her, Tricia slipped away one morning for a job interview, and by day's end had secured a place in nurses' training at Alder Hey Children's Hospital. That decision set her on a different course.

What began in the wards of a Liverpool hospital would eventually carry her across the Atlantic to the remote communities of coastal British Columbia, Canada, from a busy city hospital to a poorly stocked clinic at a cannery on the west coast.

Tricia's Story is one half of the By Happenstance stories.
