About this book
Dangerous currents and wrecked ships shape life in Chance Along, a small coastal hamlet between Cape Race and St. John's. In Theodore Goodridge Roberts's adventure novel, Dennis Nolan inherits a schooner, a stocked store and debts owed by his neighbors. He uses that advantage to impose his authority and organize the fishing community around the profits of salvaged cargo. His plans bring hard work, resistance and the threat of violence into the harbor.
The story also moves inside the village's homes, where Mother Nolan tends Flora Lockhart through a fever and calls on Mary Kavanagh for help. These scenes place care and personal loyalties alongside the skipper's drive for wealth and command.
