Rage the Night

by Donna Morrissey

In 'Rage the Night,' a poignant narrative unfolds as a twenty-year-old man named Roan, who grew up believing himself an orphan, embarks on a soul-searching journey into his past. Following a deathbed confession that hints at secrets about his birth, Roan sets off across the snowy expanse of Newfoundland. From the northernmost reaches to the bustling streets of St. John's and onto the treacherous sealing grounds aboard the 'Newfoundland,' Roan's odyssey challenges him physically and emotionally. He encounters a tapestry of individuals: Ila, grappling with her mother's illness in solitude; the enigmatic Ashur Genge, whose own story may illuminate Roan's quest. Intertwined with a historical tragedy—the Newfoundland disaster—Roan's personal trials foster bonds of brotherhood and resilience among 'the b'ys,' the steadfast men of the ice. 'Rage the Night' is an intricate blend of personal revelation and historical fiction, where Donna Morrissey's rich storytelling showcases the profound connections that define us.
