Description
The acclaimed writer of Miss Rumphius recounts the lives of four generations living on a New England coastal island and the importance of family ties.
The youngest and quietest of 12 children, Matthias grew closest to Tibbets Island, learning its secrets over time. And though in later years he sailed to faraway places, he all the time returned to the island he loved.
