Summary: A New Twist
Review: What an amazing new twist to the horrific events of 9/11. While the U.S. was engrossed in the devastation of the attacks, thousands of passengers were left stranded in Canada. What was to become of the passengers? My family were among the passengers stranded in this small town and the hospitality and love that poured out of their homes was beyond description. Canada made me so proud and I will be eternally grateful for them taking us, the strangers, and making us friends. The U.S. could learn a few things from you guys!

Summary: Reader from New York
Review: You will read this book in one sittting and shed tears of joy. Newfies are salt-of-the-earth people. I vacationed in Nfld in the 1990s on several occasions and met some wonderful people. Defede captured their spirit just right. One major fault of the book is the omission of a map of Newfoundland and Atlantic Canada.
