When Luke Conrad’s aging mother breaks her hip he must return to the Nova Scotian fishing village of Tyler’s Cape for one summer to take care of her.

Reviews
“This is a novel suffused with life and light, a portrait of proud people living at the end of the Maritime world … A sparsely haunting take on the redemption of a man named Luke.”
— The Sun Times
“Greer’s willingness to create a ghastly and credible Mom from hell, with no punches pulled, is the best thing about this book. Closely following that is his balancing, redeeming portrait of the love that three brothers give each other in the face of daunting odds.”
