James Mullinger was a success in London, England. However, he was maintaining that success at the expense of his relationship with his family. Something had to change. Visits to his wife's home province persuaded him that New Brunswick might provide a solution.
The opening chapter of Brit Happens begins with James Mullinger moving his young family to New Brunswick. Though he was happy with the move it did present a new problem.
