It wasn't my fault that I grew up in Trout River; and it actually wasn't my mother's fault either. We were both there more or less by accident, me having been born there and she abandoned there, and neither of us being left with the desire or the incentive to be anywhere else. This is what 22 year-old Katie Parsons tells the reader in the opening paragraph of the novel. Trout River, Newfoundland is, and always has been her home, and the large, gregarious Parsons clan, her family. But what is the definition of home? And what does family really mean? When Katie discovers this might not be who she really is, and that Trout River and the only family she has ever known might not actually belong to her at all, she sets out on a quest to define them both. On a journey that takes her from her quiet Newfoundland roots to the bustling New England shoreline, Katie encounters pieces of her past, decisions of her present, and the promise of a future only she can create.
