Hattie is an 18-year-old girl who dreams of escaping her life on Holland Island, Maryland. The island is sinking into the Chesapeake Bay, and Hattie longs for a different future. But when she meets Wesley, a local oysterman, her plans are thrown into question. Their love blooms quickly, but they face challenges from the war, the harsh weather, and the Spanish flu. Flash forward to 1982: Eden, an adventurous and inquisitive 18-year-old, longs to discover her family's stories and history from their life on the island.

Unlike most folks, Hannah Westley never outgrew her childhood sense of wonder. Her first twenty years on the farm were the beginning of a life filled with adventure. Her simple childhood was rich with experiences that offer a glimpse into a time when family values had real meaning. The maps in the one-room Mine Bank School were her Bible and by the eighth grade she had read all of the books in the library.
