Alone, he's struggling through the motions of everyday life, floundering in grief and guilt. His grown children have drifted away. He's isolated himself from friends and neighbors. At best, his sternman is unreliable. Even the cat ran off. Young Natasha arrives from Boston in her mother's old Subaru to stay with dysfunctional grandparents she's never met before. Her father's disappearance also took away her home, the city, and her friends. Only when she rides her mom's childhood bike down to the rocky shore can she find solace or peace.Intrigued by the mystery girl who shows up by the dock almost every afternoon, James sets out to find what wind the precocious child blew in on.
