With The Sound Of The Sea

A daughter’s quest for her father; a father’s yearning for forgiveness; and a timeless story of the beauty and cruelty of the ocean. Athene Brown’s earliest memory – of the storm that ravaged Samuel’s Bay, leaving the fish piled gasping on the beach – is also her last of her father. For it is on this day that Isaiah turns his back on the home of his ancestors, believing all he held dear is lost. Leaving the bay for the city, she cannot put behind her the haunting scenes of her past.
