Far from home, Francine Matte has resolved to make a new beginning for herself and her young son in this rugged Newfoundland outport. To her own surprise, she comes to love the hardened sincerity of her adopted family and is compelled to trust them with not only her own life, but the lives of those she holds most dear. But Francine's secrets cannot elude her forever.
