description: On the highest point of an island in a house clinging to the edge of a cliff live Mary Rose and Harold Grapes a retired couple still mourning the death of their son thirty-five years before. Weighed down by decades of grief and memories the Grapes have never moved past the tragedy. Then on the eve of eviction from the most beautiful and dangerously unstable perch in the area theyre uprooted by a violent storm. The disbelieving Grapes and their home take a free-fall slide into the white-capped sea and float away.As the past that once moored them recedes and disappears Mary Rose and Harold are delivered from decades of sorrow by the ebb and flow of the waves. Ahead of them a light shimmers on the horizon guiding them toward a revelatory and cathartic new engagement with life and all its wonder.
