Ronny is a left-handed "alley mutt" without a birth certificate who searches for his mother everywhere. Chandra is a Tamil boy who finds his haven by swimming and surfing in the Salish Sea. Moving gracefully between these parallel stories the novel traces the seemingly separate lives of these sensitive young men and their everlasting connections to water. When their troubled paths inevitably cross, they form a sacred bond based on the mutual understanding of what it means to be othered, illuminating the interconnectedness of humanity and our innate relationship with the natural world.
