Ten-year-old—“going on eleven”—Rosie Brown is a force of nature in the coastal village of Hawkins Cove, Maine. Small for her age but impossible to slow down, Rosie works—unofficially, as she likes to say—in her mother Lily’s waterfront café. She can carry three plates at once, refill coffee without spilling a drop, and has discovered that calling fishermen “hon” increases tips to at least twenty percent.
The townspeople call Rosie “a handful.” Rosie thinks of herself as resourceful.
But Rosie has a problem she intends to solve: she doesn’t have a dad. Raised by her mother alone, she has quietly begun evaluating candidates for the job.
A hundred miles away in Boston Harbor, Arthur Brock is running out of time. A 41-year-old Vietnam veteran living alone aboard his sailboat, Arthur carries the weight of a promise he never kept. When doctors tell him that surgery is his only chance to survive a congenital heart defect, Arthur makes a different choice. Instead of the operating room, he travels Downeast to find the young widow of a man who died beside him on a muddy river half a world away—and finally tell her the truth.
Arthur expects seething anger. Hopes for forgiveness. He does not expect what he finds in Hawkins Cove—including a sharp-eyed girl named Rosie.
As an unlikely friendship forms between a determined girl searching for the father she never had and a man burdened by a past he cannot escape, both are forced to confront the fragile ways that love, guilt, courage, and redemption shape the lives we build.
