Summary
All they could hear was the wind， and the waves crashing on to the rocks。 All they could see was the night。 They could not see the ship， broken in two。 They could not see the people holding on to the dark wet rock， slowly dying of cold。 And they could not hear the cries for help - only the wind。 How could they save the people on the rock？ Was their wooden boat stronger than the iron ship？ Were a man and his daughter stronger than the great waves that broke the ship in two？ The Forfarshire was wrecked off the north-east coast of England in 1838。 This is the true story of Grace Darling - a girl who became a famous heroine on that stormy night。

Excellent read。 The English is clear and if you get the audio CD with the book it is great for an Esol class。 The enunciation is clear。 Tim Vicary captures the true story well and depicts the horror of the shipwreck and the extreme bravery of Grace Darling and her father trying to save the survivors in tortuous weather。

Grace Horsley Darling （1815–1842） was an English lighthouse keeper's daughter， famed for participating in the rescue of survivors from the shipwrecked Forfarshire in 1838。 The paddle steamer ran aground on the Farne Islands off the coast of Northumberland in northeast England; nine members of her crew were saved。As news of her role in the rescue reached the public， her combination of bravery and simple virtue set her out as exemplary， and led to an uneasy role as the nation's heroine。 Grace and Grace Horsley Darling （1815–1842） was an English lighthouse keeper's daughter， famed for participating in the rescue of survivors from the shipwrecked Forfarshire in 1838。 The paddle steamer ran aground on the Farne Islands off the coast of Northumberland in northeast England; nine members of her crew were saved。As news of her role in the rescue reached the public， her combination of bravery and simple virtue set her out as exemplary， and led to an uneasy role as the nation's heroine。 Grace and her father were awarded the Silver Medal for bravery by the Royal National Institution for the Preservation of Life from Shipwreck。 Subscriptions and donations totaling over £700 were raised for her， including £50 from Queen Victoria; more than a dozen portrait painters sailed to her island home to capture her likeness， and hundreds of gifts， letters， and even marriage proposals were delivered to her。In 2018， Hazel Gaynor published an adult historical fiction novel about Grace called "The Lighthouse Keeper's Daughter"。 （Wikipedia） 。。。more
