Late 19th century, the Delaware coast. The Civil War is over, but
slavery has not died. Heiress Elizabeth Harrison leaps from a slave
ship where she has been held captive. Jack Light, a surfman with
the Lifesaving Service, pulls her to safety and at her insistence
hides her until she can return to her home. But LeFrank, the
captain of the ship, is bent on selling her to gain control of her
fortune. Until now violent storms were all Jack had to fear, but he
finds that human will, for good or ill, is stronger than the oceans
of the world. He betrays the trust by which he lives to do what he
thinks is right. Elizabeth has spent her life in study and
refinement, but like Jack now finds herself, an innocent, in a
world where men will do anything to get what they want. There are
startling revelations, intensely dramatic passages, and we meet
Jack's service mates, children from orphan trains, lawmen and
miscreants. The surfman lives in Winslow Homer's paintings and
history books, but he is hidden in fiction.
