"This poignant novel explores how a unilateral decision can change
a life.
"Two things are hard for Joel Gustafson to cope with: not knowing
why, and not being able to do anything about it. Joel's father was
once a sailor who lived by the sea. Joel's mother once lived with
them. Joel's father abandoned the sea. Joel's mother abandoned Joel
and his father.
While looking out his window one night, Joel sees a lonely dog on
the street. Joel spots the animal again and begins sneaking out
night after night, trying to find it. During these nocturnal
outings, Joel discovers aspects of life he has never imagined. And
then one night he discovers that his father's bed, too, is empty.
As Joel investigates his father's mysterious absences and continues
to search for the dog, he discovers his own inner strength and
learns about adult disappointments and needs.
