Nine months after Catherine Leary's father, a literature
professor, passed away, she still has not fulfilled his
final wish: that she scatter his ashes in the Seaboro River
in South Carolina. The scene of a childhood tragedy that
forced her family to move, Seaboro is the last place
Catherine wants to see again. But on the evening of her
thirtieth birthday, her father's young colleague - whom she
once dated - pays a visit.
Forrest Anderson offers a challenge from Catherine's father:
three probing questions that he had planned to put inside a
birthday letter to his daughter. But it's the news that
Forrest plans to memorialize her father in an article that
includes the family's time in Seaboro - and the surprising
revelation that her father visited there in recent years -
that sends Catherine reeling. Hoping to stop Forrest from
exposing her family's secrets, she agrees to accompany him
to her once-beloved Lowcountry town - and embarks on a
poignant trip into the past ... a journey that might lead
her into a new life of love, forgiveness, and self-discovery.
