A dying father haunted by the past, the untold truth of a tragic ship wreck on the Great Lakes and a son’s lifetime of resentment over his father’s withdrawal from the family are blended together in this excellent debut novel to create a story of family, forgiveness and undying love. Noah Torr returns home to help his sick father prepare the family cabin for winter only to discover that his father is actually dying. What follows is a torrent of emotions, memories and reconciliation interwoven with the tragic story of the Ragnarok, an ore ship, once proud but now resting at the bottom of Lake Superior. It forced me to look back at my relationship with my own father and wonder what stories followed him to the grave simply because I never asked to hear them. I would highly recommend this book to anyone.
