What to expect

A huge storm hurls a ship against the rocks with the force of a hurricane. A father, mother and their four sons, abandoned by their now drowned crew, must carve out a new life for themselves on an uncharted island. Join them as they learn how to survive while battling the forces of nature. As the father says - “It was written for the instruction and amusement of my children. Children are, on the whole, very much alike everywhere, and you four lads fairly represent multitudes. It will make me happy to think that my simple narrative may lead some of these to observe…how good and pleasant a thing it is when brethren dwell together in unity, under the eye of parental love.”
