A young girl's quest for her father; a father's yearning for forgiveness; and a timeless story of the beauty and cruelty of the ocean.
Athene Brown's earliest memory - of the storm that ravaged Samuel's Bay - is also her last of her father. For it is on this day that Isaiah turns his back on the home of his ancestors, believing all he holds dear is lost. Adopted by Dublin Small and the two Johnnies, the young Athene grows to love the bay and its magical waters, though in time the greed of the fishermen drives her to despair, and to the city. Here she encounters a love that promises to fill the gap left by Isaiah, but when she bears a child of her own, she knows that the moment has finally come to seek her father out.
