Description

Needing a change, Shannon Carew takes a job in the National Parks system in Newfoundland and Labrador. The journey brings her life full circle, returning her to the birthplace she abandoned years before. As she makes new connections, and unearths old ones, Shannon learns the land holds many memories: stories of Maritime Archaic, the Vikings, the Basques, the Beothuk, and the Europeans who came after.
