Description
A novel about the dark gifts of grief and what it means to belong. In the aftermath of a devastating hurricane, local painter Dolores discovers something unusual in a piece of driftwood - a color, a creature, perhaps fostered by storm and atomic fallout. Decades later, her son Morgan returns to the Headland to arrange for his mother's funeral, uncovering secrets about his family's past. His mother's diary reveals a story about Dolores' experiences following the hurricane, which challenges Morgan's ideas about love, grief, parenthood, and belonging. As he unravels the mysteries of his mother's past, Morgan must come to terms with his own origins and face growing violence from those who would threaten the peace of the Headland. The journal's revelations blur the lines between time and space, leaving Morgan questioning everything he thought he knew about his family and their place in the world.
