Wendy Dathan

Wendy Dathan loves Grand Manan and I love Grand Manan, but the only point where our experiences intersect is that rush of emotion that we both feel as the ferry rounds Swallowtail and Pettes Cove sparkles into view. The arrival does matter, it seems. The author has led a fascinating life and its culmination in that house on that island means much to her, though it did not come without a price: life with Tim must have exacted a certain toll.
