Set in a small coastal town in North Carolina during the waning years of the American Revolution, this historical novel follows three generations of a family shaped by war, slavery, loss, and love. Its intertwined stories include fathers and daughters, a mother and son, and the unequal bond between two girls growing up on a plantation.
Tabitha’s father, John, turns again to the sea when his daughter falls ill, while earlier chapters trace the lives of Helen and Moll, whose companionship unfolds within the constraints of slavery. Katy Simpson Smith’s novel explores parent-child devotion, love lost, and the possibility of renewal against the upheavals of the Revolutionary era.
