Beneath the quiet fields of Thomaston, Maine, lies a forgotten story—a cemetery once tended by Father Flynn, where more than a thousand souls rest in unmarked and crumbling graves. Some stones still stand; others have sunk beneath the earth, their names erased by time. But the dead are not silent.In this powerful companion to Tide Rode (1947), Ian Emmott uncovers the lost history of Father Flynn’s cemetery—a sacred ground sold, desecrated, and nearly erased.
