Read New Girl in Little Cove Storyline:

After a teacher scandalizes the fishing village of Little Cove, Newfoundland, by running off with a priest, the school looks to the mainland to fill the job quickly. They want someone who can uphold their Catholic values and keep a motley group of largely uncooperative students in line. The position is filled by Rachel O'Brien, a young woman from Toronto desperate for a fresh start after a failed relationship and the death of her father. Rachel isn't surprised that her students don't see the value of learning French. But she is surprised that she can barely understand their English, which is thickly accented and full of unfamiliar expressions. When she is called a sleveen, is it a compliment or an insult? (Insult.) And the anonymous notes left on her car, telling her to go home, certainly don't make her feel welcome. Still, Rachel is quickly drawn into the island's traditional music and culture, and the personal lives of her students as well as her fellow teacher...
