Grenfell tells tales of bravery, tragedy, and adventure, recounting the experiences of the men who worked on the fishing boats, the pilots who guided them through treacherous waters, and the men who manned the lighthouses along the coast.Throughout the book, Grenfell's love and respect for the people of Labrador shines through.
