About this book

Book Summary

After experiencing a devastating tragedy, Guy sets out to sea in an old Dutch barge that has now become his home. Every night, he writes the imagined diary of the man he might have been - and the family he should have had.

As he embarks upon the stormy waters of the North Sea - writing about a trip through the small towns and nightclubs of the rural American South - Guy's stories begin to unfold in unexpected ways. And when he meets a mother and daughter, he realizes that it might just be possible to begin his life again.
