He made himself an island until
something unexpected washed ashore.
When Holton lost his wife, Adele, in a freak accident, he
shut himself off from the world, living a life of seclusion,
making drifwood sculptures and drowning his pain in gin.
Until twenty-three-year-old Libby knocks on his door, asking
for a job and claiming to be a friend of his late wife. When
he discovers Libby is actually his late wife’s illegitimate
daughter, given up for adoption without his knowledge, his
life is turned upside down as he struggles to accept that
the wife he’d given saint status to was not the woman he
thought he knew.
Together Holton and Libby form an unlikely bond as the two
struggle to learn the identity of Libby’s father and the
truth about Adele, themselves, and each other.
