Can coming home bring redemption? Or at least a measure of peace? Recently released from prison, Blake Alvares returns to the only place she ever felt safe, the now derelict Maine town in which she harbored as a teen. Determined to conceal her secrets and losses, she soon finds herself dragged into others' lives when she takes a job on a boat owned by a notorious young lobsterman.

Though his choice to hire Blake raises local eyebrows, Leland and those around Blake are quickly surprised and jarred by how much they come to rely on her. At the same time, Blake stumbles into love from unexpected places. When Leland's rash actions place her and Quinnie in peril, Blake feels forced to run again-only to discover the past is never more than a few steps behind her. On her quest for home, Blake must confront a daunting question: where does she belong?
This is an audiobook for listeners who enjoy the believable eccentricity a small town offers. And for those who believe in the redemption of the sea and hard work.
