Long Journey Westward is an inspiring chronicle set in the late
1880s as an Irish emigrant family reluctantly leaves their
poverty-stricken, but beloved, homeland for the sake of survival.
The story centers on the adventures of the son, Robert, who sets
out in the early 1900s to make a life for himself in the newly
established area of Canada - Fraser Mills, British Columbia. There
he obtains a position as cook with a sawmill company. He's tall and
good-looking with a strong Christian upbringing, but definitely
does not fit in with many of those in the workplace. They are
burly, crude-speaking and heavy-drinking lumbermen that he must
encounter daily while at work and living in the company's
bunkhouse. He faces condemnation and confrontation for being a
non-conformist to their lifestyle. Loneliness sets in, driving him
to consider taking a mail-order bride for a wife. Through many
challenges and adversities, Robert continues to uphold his
Christian principles. Even so, at times he questions the choice he
made in leaving home to work and survive in the environment in
which he finds himself.
