Inspiring and uplifting, an easy read and a great escape, this book by Jim DeFede - a 2003 Christopher award winner - will remind you there is good to be found everywhere in humanity. On September 11, 2001 planes flying from Europe were diverted to Canada when the United States closed its airspace. This book centers on towns in Newfoundland, their people and how they took care of the stranded passengers. Recommended!
