When Tom Vincent’s father dies on a foundry floor, the owner offers fourteen-year-old Tom the stewardship of a store on isolated Reach Run Island. Thus begins the odyssey of Tom Vincent – storekeeper, book lover, telegrapher, fisherman, farmer, healer, union organizer, politician and visionary. A Settlement of a Memory is a story of greed, oppression, love, human frailty and, as Stan Dragland observed, it is “...[a] wonderful tale of the inexorable drive to freedom in the teeth of vested interest....” Constructed with passionate attention to detail, A Settlement of a Memory both imagines the past and explores the power and limitations of vision to shape the future.

Settlement of Memory

Rodgers, Gordon

Living with danger, a harsh environment, isolation and loneliness is the reality for the lighthouse keepers. Since the early 1800's, hundreds of courageous men and women have garrisoned these saviours of Newfoundland's unforgiving seas. Although keeping the lights aglow and blowing the foghorns were their main responsibilities, there are few who haven't participated in daring sea rescues, sometimes paying the ultimate sacrifice of their own life trying to save others.
