A new adult novel from New York Times bestselling author Shea Ernshaw, in which a woman rediscovers the mythical island she stumbled upon as a childand the man she once met who apparently hasnt aged.
The night Clay Lockharts wife dies, a violent storm tears their homeand the eight hectares of land beneath itaway from the Scottish coast, sending it adrift into the Atlantic. Thirty years later, twelve-year-old Ellie Mills discovers the fabled floating island off the coast of Nova Scotia and finds Clay still living in the weatherworn farmhouse perched on its highest hill.
When the island vanishes overnight, Ellie is left questioning whether it ever existed at all. But decades later, the island resurfacesand Ellie, now in her thirties, returns, determined to uncover the truth. What she finds is even stranger: Clay hasnt aged a single day.
