More than one thousand miles from the sea, on the outskirts of Manybones, Saskatchewan, Tpm Sukanen is building a ship. At first people think the lumber and steel are new building materials for a granary or haystack, but when they discover its real purpose, Tom Sukanen's dream becomes the communities concern. In the mire of the Great Depression, patience and morale is short. Tom Sukanen can only be crazy, and for his own good he must be stopped. Andreas Schroeder has taken a real story and woven it into an inspiring and touching tale of human determination and a man victimized by his dreams and his times." .

About Ainsworth Books
Ainsworth Books was for many years a bricks and mortar store in Vancouver, BC. When we acquired the store, we moved to a location in Delta. After three years we moved the stock home and started operation as an online, by appointment only operation. I have worked with books my whole adult life and enjoy giving recommendations.
