Newfie Slugger
by Dr. Victor Bennett
The winds of fate are blowing ill for Kirk Sampson. Along with his best friend and fishing partner Jake Handle, Kirk lost everything to a sudden storm. Now they follow the timber trade, working as lumberjacks in Newfoundland. Kirk urgently needs to find the financial resources to support medical care for his young son. Participating in pulp-cutting contests and fighting with his fists for just causes, Kirk finds himself in an unfamiliar world of opportunity and peril. With the help of his friends, Kirk Sampson faces circumstances and odds that seem insurmountable. Will his fists be enough?
ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Orphaned in 1944 at the age of six, Victor Bennett spent his formative years at Mount Cashel Orphanage. After nine years, an undereducated fifteen-year-old was released into an alien world. Luckily his physical strength enabled him to work as a lumberjack and a sailor. In 1958, an auto accident confined Bennett to a wheelchair. A rehabilitation counselor and consultant, Dr. Bennett lectured in psychology at the University. At the age of sixty-seven, he completed his first novel Newfie Slugger. Another novel and an autobiography await publication.
