Book overview
Sixteen-year-old Jeremy Gladstone, orphaned by the horrific death of his mother, now lives with his grandfather Howie, a retired fisherman, over a bait-and-tackle shop near the Outer Banks of North Carolina. Forces beyond their control threaten to separate them, prompting them to hatch a dangerous plan of escape. Their desperate flight involves an old fishing boat that flounders in a sudden storm, tossing them both into the sea. Each believes the other has drowned, and now each must face their own perilous fight for survival.
Will the God in whom neither one believes intervene when all seems hopeless?
