Such is life, both a blessing and a curse. To live is to be broken by the world and mended by time.
She is ordinary. She hates hate. She loves love. And she cannot stop thinking about death. To her, life is an ocean-a definite beginning, a definite end, and unknown depths in between.
From ten to twenty-six, she follows the expected path: school, heartbreak, graduation, routine. Yet stagnation is a slow kind of drowning, and her small town offers nothing on the horizon. Her only escape comes in dreams-vivid, impossible oceans and a man she has never met. One day, she listens and follows the call of the ocean. From her rural town to the restless waves of Sydney, she steps into a life of color, freedom, and love-everything she thought she wanted. Yet even in paradise, questions still remain: what will she continue to sacrifice to live the life she's always dreamed-and what will be left of her when time finally pulls her under?
