A lyrical and spellbinding story of love, loss, and war from a
standout new voice in fiction. Katy Simpson Smith has already been
acclaimed as an 'heir apparent to to Michael Ondaatje and Marilynne
Robinson' North Carolina, 1793. When nine-year-old Tab catches
yellow fever, her father John steals her onto a boat, hoping the
sea air will cure his only child. For comfort, he tells Tab stories
about her mother Helen, who died in childbirth. Two decades
earlier, Helen is given a slave girl for her tenth birthday. Moll's
arrival is meant to teach Helen discipline but soon the girls are
close confidantes, until the arrival of John, a pirate turned
soldier. And as the town is threatened in the dying embers of the
Revolution, Helen must decide between a life of security on the
family plantation and a sea adventure with the man she loves.
