She lives in Calgary but has always felt drawn to the East Coast, where her parents grew up...though she's never visited. Her mother, a pediatric ER doctor, has all the excuses: it's too far, it's too expensive, it's not safe near the water. When her great-uncle Mark dies, Meranda's parents finally decide to make the trip -- so she gets to stay with her grandparents in their cozy cottage on Bras D'Or Lake. At first, being there is everything she hoped it would be, and she can't get enough of the saltwater smell... or the scrumptious chowder at the local eatery.
