About the books
Two Ferries Out: growing up on Brier Island - Ben Robicheau
"Wales has Dylan Thomas, Lake Wobegon has Garrison Keillor, and Brier Island, Nova Scotia has Ben Robicheau, a great raconteur with a remarkable eye for the right detail. He makes you wish you’d been there, or be glad you weren’t, often in the same tale! No matter where you grew up, you’ll long to go back home again—to Briar Island."
- Jan Fancy Hull, author of Where's Home

A Wilderness of Water - Ben Robicheau
"A beautifully-written story of a fishing tragedy off Brier Island, Nova Scotia that captures, accurately and emotion-ally, the loss of two young islanders in a vicious winter gale, just before Christmas in 1963, and its impact on the tightly-knit community. The author, with his intimate relationship to the island, gives a very compelling account of this harrowing event. A must-read."
