The true story Inspiring the hit musical 'Come From Away' 

Greetings from someone who was born and raised in Newfoundland. The vast majority of Newfoundlanders make their living from the fisheries and must face the vicious North Atlantic pretty much 12 months of the year! The North Atlantic is most unforgiving and every year lives are lost and it is in such times that we as a people must help whatever way we can because a family has lost a treasured bread winner! So when even strangers show up totally unannounced we only know how to help. So I would encourage all to receive that stranger as a family member because you do not know when tragedy will come to your door!

I love the subtle story telling of your experience and growth in the play. From not wanting to share the Grey Goose in the beginning to wanting to share kindness with all. Amazing story. Thanks for sharing

I'm a Canadian and am proud of Gander and proud of all the Canadian who step forward to help the world , That is the best of Canadians that the rest the world loves , Thank you Gander you are true Candian hero's !

Loved your book. Hi from Canada 🇨🇦💕👍🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Canadian here and so so so proud of Gander! The story of what happened that week is so beautiful and the musical that came from it is so good too.

Thank you. I am a Newf with a sister in Texas.....She teaches nursing your lovely state..pay it forward.... thank you again

one couple from the plains met in Gander and ended up getting married! I think she was from the United States and he was from England.

Just saw the play and began searching for more info. This was wonderful. Can't wait to read the book

They closed down the schools and many of the high school kids helped take care of the passengers

Good heavens this man keeps saying would you do this. Yes I know people round where I live would, and how I know it is that it’s already happened to me both as a someone needing help and someone able to help. I honestly think this man has a very dark view on life
