Baby Amos, I promise you that I will do my best . . ." All Righty wants is to become a midwife to keep others from feeling the pain of losing a baby. But without a school on Henning's Island, how will she be able to keep her promise to her stillborn baby brother? "You ain't never goin' to be no hero!" Jimma's Old Man knows just what to say to beat him down. Will he ever amount to anything? In the year 1912, life in a lobster fishing village on an isolated island off of the coast of Maine was hard. Here was no proper school, doctor, or church. When the harbor freezes over, Jimma, Righty, and everyone else on Henning's Island are out of hope. Until one day, out of the blue, the Sunbeam, captained by the Reverend Alexander MacDonald, breaks through the ice. Captain Mac brings desperately needed food and supplies on board his ship, and, even better, he brings hope to the desperate Island community. But can hope last in such a bleak place?
