The daughter of a sailor and owner of a bookstore, Kate McKenna, did not leave her native island for eight years. This is exactly how much time has passed since the completion of the round-the-world sailing race in which they participated with their father and two younger sisters. Then McKenna won, but at what cost? A deadly storm in the final stage of the race destroyed their hopes and dreams. Upon returning, the sisters swore never to discuss what had happened and not to go to sea. But one day, journalist Tyler Jamison came into Kate's store with the sole purpose of revealing the secrets of the McKenna family.
