John Casey follows up his National Book Award-winning novel Spartina with an extraordinary return to the marshes of Rhode Island's South County.

Elsie Buttrick, the prodigal daughter of Sawtooth Point, has just given birth to Rose, the child conceived during her passionate affair with Dick Pierce. At first she is wary of the discomfort her presence poses to Dick's wife, May, and other inhabitants of their gossipy, insular community. But as Rose slowly becomes the unofficially adopted daughter and little sister of half the town, she magnetically steers everyone in her orbit toward unexpected--and unbreakable--relationships.

For almost 35 years, John L. Casey has served his country, science, and high-tech enterprises. He has served as a White House and Congress national space policy advisor, a space shuttle engineer, a NASA Headquarters consultant, and a consultant to or president of multiple cutting-edge technology start-ups. He is the President of the Space and Science Research Corporation (SSRC), a leading, independent research organization based in Orlando, Florida, United States.
