Product Description
Book Description
When Luke Conrad's aging mother breaks her hip he must return to the Nova Scotian fishing village of Tyler's Cape for one summer to take care of her. There, as he starts to remember the childhood he has worked so hard to forget, Luke unearths a secret in his mother's past — a secret that could be the key to understanding all that has happened to his family.
Taking the reader on a journey through childhood and memory, Tyler's Cape is a story about the relationship between brothers, the difficult yet enduring nature of family, and the rediscovery of a child's lost world of grace and glory.

Moving Novel, May 19 2002
By s bell - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Tyler's Cape (Paperback)
This is an enjoyable, moving novel about a small town in Nova Scotia and three brothers who are raised by an incredibly anti-social, cynical mother after their father dies when they are very young.I thought that the author managed to make all the characters interesting and believable, even the ones I didn't like. I really enjoyed this novel, and look forward to Greer's next book.

Overwhelmingly emotional and spiritual, April 10 2001
By "jlkeating" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Tyler's Cape (Paperback)
D. Greer's novel takes a reader through the heart of Nova Scotia in a time period that reflects the struggles of the fishing towns up and down the south shore. This story is uplifting, yet real and closes leaving the reader with a mix of emotions.
