'Kathy Biggs reminds me of Alan Bennett... she walks the fine line between humour and utter sadness in a way that is very rare' JAN NEWTON

When you're feeling lost at sea, what will it take to guide you home?

Grace lives with her father Jack on their crumbling family farm in Wales. Jack, who has dementia, lost his son Michael in a tragic accident at sea many years ago. Each night he is soothed by an old recording of the shipping forecast, lulled to sleep by the belief that Michael is safe.

And while he sleeps, Grace wonders how she ended up back here, caring for her father rather than living her own life.

One day, a young woman turns up on their farm, claiming to be Michael's daughter. But how can this be, seeing as he died before she was born?

United by this shared flicker of hope, the unlikely trio embark on a journey from the Welsh valleys to Whitby, which will change all their lives forever...
