Ă propos de ce livre
Juniper Tickle, Newfoundland, 1906Jimmy Bailor is left on the edge of the wild North Atlantic with meagre supplies and limited survival skills. He stumbles upon shelter with Flory White, her sister-in-law, Lizzy, and Lizzy's young son. The Whites have been stranded to winter alone in isolated Juniper Tickle after the menfolk are arrested for the murder of the crew of the Annie Mayâa marooned schooner owned by Jimmy's father. While enduring the harsh and unforgiving winter in outport Newfoundland, Jimmy struggles with menial tasks and further strains Flory's bid to keep them alive until spring, with faint hope for the men's return. When Jimmy's identity is revealed, he must face the bitter truth about himself, his father's legacy, the women he has now betrayedâand a murderer who will stop at nothing to make sure Jimmy disappears once and for all. Will Jimmy challenge his limitations and defy a killer? Will he humbly seek Flory's forgiveness, or is it too late for them both as Flory deals with deceptions closer to home?
