At the age of fifteen, I stood on a high snowdrift in the bitter cold and
watched a group of men wearing snowshoes, slowly pulling a sled (komatik)
toward the shore. A loudspeaker on the church steeple echoed the voice of an
old preacher. "They have found her! They have found the body!" I
watched as they drew the body of Beryl Roberts along by no less than ten feet
away.
Almost all of the memories of that terrible tragedy had faded away, but
Freeman Cull has resurrected this account and has combined the thoughts and
actions of many people who were involved, showing the lack of a combined and
organized search and rescue unit. This is a great story. Read it!

This is Freeman Cull's third book.
Again, the setting is the Great Northern Peninsula. This time, however,
the main characters are women.Their lives, their joys, their trials and their
sorrows are woven into a fine readable fabric.
