What happens when the man you love most in the world unexpectedly
disappears and takes your small child with him? Emma Fedor's
"wonderful, haunting, and original" (Katherine Faulkner, author of
Greenwich Park) debut explores the fierceness of first love and how
far one woman will go to learn the truth about her family. When
Cara and Brendan first meet, she's fresh out of college, recovering
from the recent death of her mother, and spending time on Martha's
Vineyard while trying to figure out her next steps. She's swept
away by Brendan's humor and charm, and intoxicated by his
thrilling, dangerous secret: he can breathe underwater. Able to
stay beneath the waves for longer than should be possible, Brendan
reveals that he is part of a secret experimental unit of the US
Special Forces. And Cara, struck by the power of his conviction, by
his unstoppable charisma, and by the evidence before her, believes
him. Their summer romance turns serious. Then Cara gets pregnant.
When their son, Micah, is born, she's sure their happy ending is
underway. Still, she's thrown by Brendan's dramatic moods, his
unexplained disappearances, and the weight of his secrets. Cara is
determined to stay strong for her young family--until he and baby
Micah vanish, leaving her desolate and alone and questioning
everything she once thought was true. Five years later, Cara is
still struggling to move forward, married to another man and trying
to rebuild her life, when a local fisherman announces he's spotted
two people--one of them a small child--treading water in Nantucket
Sound, far from any vessels and miles from shore. The news
rekindles Cara's never-abandoned hope that her little boy may still
be alive. As she fights to untangle delusion from reality, and
revisits a past she's worked hard to reconcile, Cara is determined
to learn the truth about her lost love and finally find her son in
this "book you won't be able to put down" (Jessica Anya Blau,
author of Mary Jane).
