The Oatmeal Ark

A haunting tale of loss and discovery, “The Oatmeal Ark” is the story of one remarkable family and a candid, beautifully rendered portrait of the country that defined it.After the death of his father, Beagan Gillean finds himself stranded on a wild Scottish island, alone except for a trunk full of three generations of family history. Immersing himself in the lives and dreams of his forefathers, Gillean decides to retrace the journey his great-grandfather made two-hundred years before to the promised land of Canada. A wave-rocked, wind-tossed travel adventure unfolds, carrying him into his family`s past and across the world`s second-largest country. In his wake trail three ghosts: his great-grandfather, his grandfather and his father. Together they navigate the rivers, lakes and waterways that ribbon through Canada and as they travel Gillean discovers that his ancestors` struggles, achievements and failings mirror Canada`s own.
