Summary
:
Life in outport Newfoundland in the early 20th century was a constant battle for survival. The sea, the ice, the weather and the hand of God all suspended the fishermen and their families by the thinnest thread. And yet many lived, arguably thrived, setting down a foundation for their communities and their future generations. William and Sarah Hookey were no exception to outport challenges as they navigated the early years of marriage and family, their love and their losses paving the way for others to walk in their footsteps. The story, a blend of fact and fiction, serves to honour their legacy of family.
