Things have never been the same between David Caldwell and his thirteen-year-old son, Todd, since a terrible family incident seven years ago that landed Todd in juvenile prison. David hasn't seen Todd since he was released two years earlier, but now he wants to bring his family together again. He arranges to meet Todd in the chilly off-season at Columbia Beach, the fading resort town where the family used to vacation. Old wounds will be exposed, broken hearts will be mended, and a newfamily bond will be created.   With the intensity of a Shakespearean tragedy, Robert Bausch draws on the heartbreak of loss and the power of redemption like no other writer..
