His hopes of marriage died years ago, not long after the storms and the seas and the sails took away his youngest brother. He'd rather be in the marshes of Cape Cod, with their predictable rhythms and no emotion. The Cape doesn't blame him for the accident.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe other Boyd brother, Finn, dives headlong into his fish trading company, trying to prove something to himself. When their father asks the brothers to sail a schooner down from Boston to their harbor village, he didn't expect them to bring back a young girl fleeing her home, much less a girl who slips off the boat and nearly drowns. The Boyd men take Rachel to the nearest home to the harbor--that of Nathaniel's first love, Meredith.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAs Rachel's recovery brings Nathaniel back into Meredith's world, nothing will be the same.
