One of her students, the child of missionaries, is at the root of her turmoil, and the tragedy of his life has sent Casey's faith spiraling downward into incomprehension and despair. Yet from her first inauspicious encounter with islanders, Casey realizes that the Ile de Batz is not going to be the haven she had sought. Her presence on the small island is unwelcome and all but one enigmatic stranger, Luke, treat her with open hostility.

Rife with fierce emotions and profound realizations, 'The Edge of Tidal Pools' follows Casey's journey through brokenness, while offering a glimpse into the often-misunderstood plight of missionaries' children.
