Newfoundland best-selling author Donna Morrissey has a new novel out, based on the 1914 Newfoundland sealing disaster -and finishing the writing was a struggle for her
b"If you checked the Globe and Mail bestseller list this week, you may have noticed a familiar name at Number Five. The new novel, Rage the Night by Newfoundland and Labrador's Donna Morrissey is flying off the shelves. The book centres on the 1914 Newfoundland sealing disaster, and a lost young man who's caught up in it all. Rage the Night almost didn't happen because Morrissey and her husband have been dealing with serious health problems. CBC's Leigh Anne Power spoke with her."
