Bill Eville's life changes when his wife Cathlin takes a job as the first female pastor of a 350-year-old church on Martha's Vineyard, the island that was once home to generations of his ancestors. With their two small children in tow, the couple begins a new life eight miles out at sea.
What The Reviewers Say
Eville's stories about his two children are at times hilarious and, at others, heartbreaking.
His well-crafted story is realistic and poignant.
For a book about a woman’s breast cancer, it’s odd that much of the focus is on the husband rather than the wife.
