The Sea Among the Rocks is a powerful book about important people and their communities. Harry Thurston has journeyed through Atlantic Canada from Labrador to Sable Island and to the many bays, islands and outports in between to write about his homeland for such magazines as Equinox, Audubon, and National Geographic. Here is the rich and textured story of the fishermen, the loggers, the housewives, the farmers, the scallop dragger men, the island dwellers, the lighthouse keepers, the coal miners, and the everyday men and women who live extraordinary lives in this region by the sea. It is a book about the spirit of Atlantic Canada and a way of life that has been under attack for decades.

Award-winning writer Harry Thurston takes the reader to Anticosti Island, Advocate Harbour, Cut Throat Island, Tatamagouche, McNutt Island, Bridgewater, Greenwich, River Hebert, Springhill, Big Tancook Island, Mooseland, Millstream, Dalhousie, Grand Manan, Petit Forte, Sable Island, and other intriguing destinations. Thurston writes passionately about the region's bounty, the environmental destruction and the attempts to protect what's left of our natural heritage. He shows how these concerns for the environment are inseparable from community and culture.
