Marthe Jocelyn<br />
Winner of the 1st Annual TD Canadian Children’s<br />
Literature Award for Mable Riley<br />
The year is 1924, the heyday of the revived Spiritualist<br />
movement. Fourteen-year-old Annie and her mother are<br />
successful purveyors of psychic chicanery; they move from town<br />
to town, cashing in on the fad for clairvoyant guidance.<br />
When they arrive in Peach Hill, Annie is once again<br />
compelled into her part of the act: she has to pretend that she’s<br />
the village idiot in order to more easily listen in on gossip that<br />
her mother can put to use as a fake seer. But something happens<br />
in Peach Hill. Annie’s tired of missing school, drooling, and<br />
keeping her eyes crossed. This is not the way to attract the kind<br />
of male attention she wants. She decides to drop the guise, but<br />
no sooner than she does, her mother comes up with a new scam.<br />
Now she’s a faith healer and Annie’s troubles have just begun.<br />
This is Marthe Jocelyn at the height of her powers as a<br />
novelist. How it Happened in Peach Hill is by turns funny, suspenseful,<br />
and heartbreaking as it explores the world of those who peddle<br />
hope and comfort for profit.<br />
