Set in Depression-era Eastern Ontario, "The Fires of Joanna" tells the story of a woman struggling to endure a harsh and unforgiving life. Joanna McVeigh is a young epileptic woman, who, burdened by an illness for which she is shunned, illuminates her isolation with the pleasures of her one great gift: her ability to set fires with her mind. A tale of sin, guilt, and redemption.
