Looking back over her fifty-eight years with wit and no small amount of regret, Frances Delaney sees not the life she wanted but the one that happened. An idyllic childhood in the small Newfoundland fishing town of Safe Harbour was darkened by the loss of her father at sea, an unwanted pregnancy, and a betrayal by her closest friend, Annie Malone. Now, with the help of her young, optimistic friend Edie, Frances begins a journey toward resolution and back to Annie and Safe Harbour. Frances can at last chart her course to living on her own terms, right to the very end.
