Harbour of my Tomorrows

by Valerie Wiseman

Overview

Inspired by True Events

From the famine-ravaged fields of Ireland to the peaceful fishing village of Fortune Harbour, Newfoundland, Harbour of my Tomorrows takes the reader on an unforgettable journey of adventure, suspense, and love.

John Gavin’s tale begins in County Cork, Ireland, in 1852. Orphaned at a young age, John and his brother, Luke, find solace in each other and the friends they meet in their travels, but shadows of tragedy, betrayal, and murder dog their every step. And when one brother is conscripted by the Royal Navy and sent to fight in the Crimean War, both John and Luke will face their greatest challenge yet: separation, and the uncertainty of whether brotherly love can stand the test of time.

About the Author

Although Harbour of my Tomorrows is Valerie Wiseman’s first novel, she is not new to writing, having expressed her thoughts in poetry, music, and live theatre. When she first saw the photograph of John Gavin (her husband’s great-grandfather), Valerie was intrigued. Soon she became captivated. His story had to be told and she gladly accepted the task. Before long, it had become a labour of love.

Valerie is a member of the Writers’ Alliance of Newfoundland and Labrador (WANL) and of the Society of Composers, Authors and Music Publishers of Canada (SOCAN). She resides in Fortune Harbour, Newfoundland, with her husband, Joe, and their Newfoundland dog, Tara.
