About This Book

A coastal lumber magnate retires to his seaside house as his son returns to assume leadership of the family enterprises, and their household life becomes entwined with the affairs of the company town they control. The story follows the son's transition into responsibility, the father's wistful stewardship, and the arrival of a young woman whose relationship with the family forces decisions about home, duty, and acceptance. Themes of paternalism, community welfare, social expectation, and the ties between industry and personal loyalty shape the narrative.
