Description
Kevin Tuerff's memoir, Channel of Peace, recounts the extraordinary kindness shown to passengers stranded in Gander, Newfoundland, on September 11, 2001, after the terrorist attacks. Tuerff and his partner were among thousands of refugees who had their flight re-routed to the small town, where they were welcomed with boundless generosity and compassion. The people of Gander rallied around the "plane people," renewing Tuerff's spirituality and inspiring him to organize an annual "giving back" day. This heartwarming story of human connection and resilience has been incorporated into the Broadway musical Come From Away.
