New Release
When Bells Toll in the North
by Freeman B. Cull
When two brothers from Englee were suddenly stricken with typhoid fever,
a call was put out to the Grenfell Mission in St. Anthony. Carl
Hammerstrom, a young American doctor, answered the call and travelled to
Englee to take the two men back to St. Anthony for treatment. The young
doctor would face his greatest challenge yet when the ship he and his
two patients were travelling on became storm-bound on the Grey Islands
en route to St. Anthony.
