Synopsis

This book tells the incredible true story of how a disabled man named Tom Tulk survived after being cast adrift on the ice off the coast of Newfoundland. This is the story of how he lost his sight and gained a moral compass. The author tells this story using excerpts from the journals of Tulk himself. As the story unfolds, readers are given a glimpse into the life of a man who, despite his physical limitations, was able to find strength both within himself and in his community. The book also provides a historical and cultural context to events in Newfoundland in the early twentieth century. It does this through an examination of the lives of those who lived there. The book's most important contribution is to provide an example of the ways that people can overcome adversity. In this case, it provides a stirring example of how a man can find solace after dealing with a debilitating loss. As a result, one can learn of the incredible perseverance of the human spirit.
