| Notes: |
"A Watch in the Night: The Story of Pomquet's Last Lightkeeping Family" is a tale in which faith, ingenuity, and tenderness triumph over adversity. This engaging book chronicles the struggles of one Nova Scotia family to survive on a tiny windswept island without running water, electricity, or reliable communication. It shares the experiences of George and Ruth Millar who, for over thirty-six years, brought up their children, raised livestock, and lived through severe storms and other weather disasters while tending the lighthouse on Pomquet Island. |
