SAMSON: The Newfoundland Mystery Ship and the Titanic
Newfoundland 1912. Outport life was hard for 17-year-old Jenny Bundy. When her father and uncles die in a fishing accident there were no men left in Bundy Cove to provide food and supplies for the families.
Her family was in crisis.
And things were going to get worse. Much worse.
Every spring sharemen from the mainland moved into her village to fish. A widow was prey for these unscrupulous men. They moved into the widow's house, into her bed, and took whatever they wanted. Sometimes they took the daughters. And then left the families broken and starving.
Jenny was in a race against time.
Her only hope to save her family was somehow tied to the mysterious boat her father had been restoring before he died.
But what were his plans? Was he going to use the boat to fish or maybe hunt seals to sell their pelts? Hunting seals on the ice flows in open ocean was dangerous work. But it was profitable.
Could she finish what her father had started? Could Jenny, who was never even on a boat do the unthinkable?
Author Walter Schulz, who has captained boats and sailed over 33,000 ocean miles, takes you on a wild ride of dynamic storytelling with Jenny and five friends on a desperate mission in this riveting New Adult novel of bravery, perseverance and survival.
You'll love the ride. Get it now.
