Description
In 1896, Jack Alford is sent to the granite shores on the St. Lawrence River. Hazards imperil his life as he travels the coastline by boat and dogsled. His zeal for the welfare of his parishioners diverts Jack from his romance. Through summer storms and fierce blizzards, Jack brings care and leadership to villages perched on the windy granite shores of northern Labrador & offering inspired teachings in hill-top churches that stand as beacons for the seal fishers.
