An Atlantic Trilogy

About the Book

You can observe the life of Thomas, a teenager and part of a fishing family enterprise on Harbour Grace Island, Newfoundland and Labrador, in 1922. He has no choice but to accept the rigours of his family’s fishing operation and must learn to deal with tragedy and isolation. Share his personal account of this adventurous island existence.

Then spend time with Salmo on his life’s adventure as he takes you from the river of his birth in Newfoundland out to the Atlantic Ocean and then home again to complete his life cycle. Experience the trials and tribulations he faces during this migratory ordeal.

Visit a small town in Newfoundland where probably the largest herd of pilot whales ever to beach themselves were discovered one fatal morning. Witness the chaotic scene as the whales tumbled about on the beach . . . and the human effort employed to try and return them to the sea.
