About this listen

When Kevin Tuerff and his partner boarded their flight from France to New York City on September 11, 2001, they had no idea that a few hours later the world - and their lives - would change forever. After US airspace closed following the terrorist attacks, Kevin, who had been experiencing doubts about organized religion, found himself in the small town of Gander, Newfoundland, with thousands of other refugees or “come from aways”.

Channel of Peace is a beautiful account of how the people of Gander rallied with boundless acts of generosity and compassion for the “plane people”, renewing Kevin’s spirituality and inspiring him to organize an annual and growing “giving back” day. His story, along with others, has reached thousands of people when it was incorporated into the Broadway musical Come from Away.

In Channel of Peace: Stranded in Gander on 9/11, you will find an unforgettable, uplifting tale of goodwill, the strength of the human spirit and hope.

Really enjoyed Kevin's viewpoint of the story in Gander. He really captures the emotions felt by himself and those around him at that time. I found it really interesting to learn more about the years that followed and how Gander's heart still continues to make an impact across the world today.

Great story of a town with a huge heart.

I found this book after seeing Come From Away on stage, thinking the musical didn't tell as much of the story of the Plane People in Gander on 9/11. It wasn't quite what I was expecting - the author is (forgive me) quite a tambourine-thumping god-botherer despite being a gay man who had been treated badly by the Catholic Church, and this is reflected in the book. The main focus of the story is not so much the story of Gander on 9/11 - that's covered off in the first couple of chapters - but the story of the author's charitable project inspired by same. Which is... fine, I suppose, but not quite what I was expecting to read about.
