The
characters are unique and well-drawn in this compelling story of
Hannah, who inherits a small island off the coast of  Maine. Hannah's
life is rudely interrupted one summer when a dog arrives with the tide.
He is soon followed by a teenage runaway, a mainland family in need,
and a trapped whale. Now Hannah faces new emotional challenges as
alarming family secrets are uncovered. The story illuminates Hannah's
conflict between pursuing human connection and artistic solitude.
