'Rejimon writes in a highly readable manner [of these]...heart-warming anecdotes of the valour of our coastal communities...whose members are well deserving of the highest praise and admiration from a grateful society. A work to cherish!'--Dr Shashi Tharoor, MP

In August 2018, when the worst floods in a century hit Kerala, fishermen risked their lives, their boats--their only source of livelihood--and their health to rescue thousands of stranded flood victims. They spent days and nights soaked to the skin, steering on empty stomachs. They had to navigate the wild flood's treacherous undercurrents and dive into dirty waters, risking disease and injury. Sometimes, they had to carry people or act as footstools to help them climb into the boats. They would even swim alongside the boats, so that more people could fit.
