About This Book

A narrator coping with a dire medical prognosis relocates to a windswept coastal village and wrestles with spiritual doubt after finding church answers hollow. Encounters with local families, curious visitors, wartime tensions and technological oddities set a mystery in motion involving phantom boats, missing men and unsettling premonitions. Gradual discoveries, visions and moral reckonings propel a shift from despair toward renewed purpose, as private griefs and communal trials converge to reshape the narrator's outlook and ignite a reclaimed passion for life.
