A Watch in the Night

A Watch in the Night chronicles the struggles of a Nova Scotia family to survive. George and Ruth Millar brought up six children, raised generations of livestock, tended Pomquet Island light for thirty-six years. Instead of being a dry account of lightkeeping life, A Watch in the Night is a tale in which faith, ingenuity, and tenderness triumph over adversity. Softcover, 196 pages. By Ruth Edgett.
