Tide and true
Living aboard a weathered but charming sailboat moored along the sun-kissed coast of southern France, Clara, a resilient single mother of rambunctious twin boys, has built an unconventional but peaceful life on the water. After a painful divorce and a career left behind, her days are now filled with homeschooling, repairs, and the unpredictable joys of raising kids at sea. But everything changes one stormy afternoon when she spots a disheveled hitchhiker on the roadside with a broken backpack, a worn-out kilt, and a cardboard sign that reads: Scotland or bust. Ewan, a Scottish traveler stranded without money after a string of bad luck, is trying to get home from a failed adventure through Europe. Out of kindness (and a bit of curiosity), Clara offers him a temporary berth on her boat in exchange for help with maintenance and navigation. What begins as a practical arrangement slowly evolves into something deeper as Ewan bonds with the twins, shares his passion for music, and reminds Clara of the woman she used to be-free-spirited, daring, and hopeful. As they journey up the coast, home towards Wales, storms, and their own emotional baggage, Clara and Ewan are forced to confront their pasts and decide what kind of future they're willing to fight for. In the tight quarters of the boat and the vast openness of the sea, they discover that sometimes, the current doesn't just take you somewhere new-it brings you exactly where you were meant to be.Complete
