A sweeping historical novel, The Difference is set on board the Morning Light, a Nova Scotian merchant ship sailing through the south pacific in 1912 . . . 

Inspired by a true story, Marina Endicott shows readers a now-vanished world in all its wonder, and in its darkness, prejudice and difficulty.  The Difference is a breathtaking novel by a writer with an astonishing ability to bring past worlds vividly to life while revealing the moral complexity of our own.

“Endicott artfully combines a bracing world voyage and the equally transformative journey of a young woman discovering and honouring her genuine nature." -- Booklist
