A struggling but loving family takes a vacation and the seven year old son falls overboard. Sharks churn the water and the worst is expected but instead the boy is returned to his mother in the jaws of the natural predator. How is this possible? What other gifts are in store for the family? For that particular son? The two other siblings feel like the focus is never on them but they manage to become accomplished in their respective areas while feeling somewhat neglected. The family dynamics change as everyone struggles and the chosen son experiences heartbreaking failure. The setting in Hawaii is almost a character in this book that includes some magical realism but remains focused on the strong relationships of the family.
The audio book is well done with a cast bringing each distinct voice to life.
