In an island community facing extinction, can hope rise stronger than
grief? Sisi de Mathilde lives on a remote island in the Indian Ocean.
With the seas rising, the birth rate plummeting and her community under
threat, she works as a scientist, reporting on local climate conditions
to help protect her island home. But her life is thrown into turmoil
when she finds herself newly widowed and unexpectedly pregnant. When a
group of outsiders arrive and try to persuade her community to abandon
the island, Sisi is caught between the sacred ' old ways' of her
ancestors and the possibilities offered by the outside world. As
tensions rise Sisi must fight to save her home, her people and her
unborn child.
