“AUGUST GALE: A Father and Daughter’s Journey Into the Storm”

“August Gale: A Father and Daughter’s Journey Into the Storm” by Barbara Walsh reads like a suspense-filled work of fiction. Instead, it’s a gripping family saga in which Walsh connects the dots between a long-ago storm at sea and her grandfather’s abandonment of her father.
Walsh is a Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist who lives in Winthrop. Her new, thoroughly researched book of personal nonfiction is so intriguingly readable that it’s likely to be a chart-topper in this state and elsewhere.
“August Gale” begins with an incident that, like others in this book, seems to border on the supernatural.
