Book, Music, and Lyrics by Irene Sankoff & David Hein
In the days following 9/11, stranded airline passengers find themselves in the small town of Gander, Newfoundland—where strangers become friends and kindness knows no bounds. Filled with heart, humor, and soaring music, this remarkable true story celebrates the power of community in the face of uncertainty.
