For twenty-five years, Jack and Helen Henderson and their two sons frequent the same Victorian house on Cape May. In twelve connected tales, the Henderson's own stories ebb and flow around each other, smoothing the edge and blurring the hard-edged lines of each other's lives in the same manner a the tide continually reimagines the beach. Lyrical and evocative as a hower of shooting stars on a warm summer night, each of these twelve "moments in time" flash brilliantly, then fade into the larger backdrop of the cosmos, leaving the reader with the undeniable feeling that something quite extraordinary has occured."--From book jacket.
