Dominic Salt and his three children live on a remote island near Antarctica that was used as a seed vault. With the a warming world and raising seas, the island is mostly abandoned; and the family is preparing to leave…. but they are all dealing with their own problems -Dominic wants to live in a world that is past; Raff with his first heartbreak, Fen wants to sleep outside with the seals, and young Orly doesn’t want any seeds to be left behind. Then one day a woman washes up on shore with her own secrets and forces everyone to confront their secrets and see if change is possible as the world around them is falling apart.

A well written examination of people, wrapped around a story of looming environmental disaster. Can people change? And can they overcome their own trauma and questions?
