Dennis Hale has been a survivor his entire life, from the moment of his birth to his reckless days as a teenager hitch-hiking across the country. But nothing could prepare him for his tragic ordeal on the steamship Daniel J. Morrell. The Morrell was ripped in two by gale-force winds on Lake Huron, the entire crew was tossed into frigid waters, with 30 foot waves.  Dennis and shipmates persevered, clad only in life jackets and little clothing. This is his story…

Sadly, Dennis Hale passed away in 2015.  The books were signed by Dennis Hale before his passing.
