The Hungry Year began during the winter of 1787 and lasted until the harvest in 1788. During this time, many Loyalist settlers died from starvation. Twelve-year-old Kate and her family came to Canada at this time with few provisions and little time to prepare for the winter. One day Kate's father does not return from a hunting trip and Kate is forced to fend for herself and her brothers.
