Surviving Well: Newfoundland is a coming of age love story with problems. Christian Joyce and Breeze O'Keefe are on the run again. In Book Two, Surviving Well: Montreal, Christian is accused of murder. They have Dominique's body on board the Bayou Queen. They also have fifteen Haitian refugees in the cargo hold. Christian is running from the Anarchists and the Surété. Breeze is pregnant and just wants to go home to Newfoundland to have her baby. Between Montreal and Fogo Island there is a winter voyage on a dangerous River, a wild Gulf and the Atlantic Ocean. It's Christmas, snowing and blowing hard and the old Louisiana shrimper is perpetually sinking, but the young couple are lucky in love and, despite all odds, make it to Béhathook Cove. Christian survived the Cuban Revolution; the deception, the Secret Police and Batista's Army. Back home in Montreal he survived the anarchists, the fledgling FLQ and the River with help from his friends and his old flame, Renée. Breeze is his lifeboat in a sea of anarchy. In their safe harbour Christian and Breeze believe life will unfold in peace. They are broke again and the Bayou Queen is a wreck, but they have a baby girl, Gracie, and a new dog. But life is not predictable. The long arm of the IRA reaches across the ocean to steal their tranquility. Two IRA thugs order them to sail to Ireland with a load of explosives, or else. They need a boat.
