The east coast of Canada has borne witness to some of the country's worst disasters, in part because of the wild waters of the Atlantic Ocean. Nova Scotia journalist Vernon Oickle recounts the great tragedies of the region, from the Ocean Ranger oil rig disaster off Newfoundland to the Swissair Flight 111 crash near Peggy's Cove, and many more.

Angels, universal beacons of hope, symbols of humanity and grace. In this book, you will encounter people who have had extraordinary experiences, and you will read stories that may seem impossible or too amazing to be true. Vernon Oickle recounts deeply personal stories of real people who have encountered otherworldly beings who have brought comfort and provoked life-altering changes: * A woman in white appears on the deck of fishing boat and warns a fisherman of impending danger * Lost in a blinding snowstorm in a dense forest, a boy is guided home to his family by a mysterious stranger * A young boy saves his family from perishing in a house fire after a strange visitor wakes him up and leads him to safety * During a difficult delivery, an expectant mother sees a woman engulfed in a bright light hovering over the doctor and knows that everything will be all right * An unknown man appears out of nowhere to save a young girl from drowning, and then he suddenly disappears * While sitting in a jail cell, a despondent man has a life-changing conversation with another man in the cell next to him, only to find out the next day that the cell was empty * Many of these true stories defy logic, yet point to the existence of angels among us.
