Neve Halloran and her daughter have shared a fierce love
for the austere beauty of Rhode Island's South County ever
since Neve guided Mickey's first baby steps along the sandy
shore. Now, with Mickey a teenager and Neve's last hope for
happiness with her daughter's loving but unstable father
gone, both will struggle to make a new life together amid
the windswept landscape that sustains them.
Captivated by a fragile wildlife sanctuary, Mickey will
move toward womanhood in the company of a lonely boy who
shares her instinctive way with the creatures of the coast.
And Neve will find herself drawn to a man who has devoted
his life to the sanctuary, but who is unable to share the
pain of a recent loss-or reconnect with the father who
still bears the scars of World War II.
As winter gives way to spring, and spring to summer, a
secret will emerge that has lain buried in the depths just
offshore for decades, a secret that will galvanize the
small seaside community. For the waters bear their own
vestige of the past-and their ceaseless rhythms may point
the way to hope and new beginnings.
