An Amish fisherwoman sent to save a garden. A caretaker with a borrowed name. One lighthouse estate willed to the Plain.

Anna Stoltzfus, Amish Fisherwoman and Island Gardener. Anna talks to soil when nobody is listening. The deacons send her to grow a winter’s food in the salt-poisoned garden of an English estate willed to the Plain. She wants a full root cellar and somewhere her too-big heart belongs. The soil is dead eight inches down, and the boathouse below the cliff is not empty.

Noah Hostetler, Shunned Amish Reef Scientist Living as the Estate’s Caretaker. Three years ago the Bishop shunned Noah for studying the island’s dying reefs. He has hidden in the estate boathouse ever since as Fisher, with a hymnbook and notebooks nobody reads. He wants the reefs to live, and to find his way back home. The woman the deacons sent reads faces the way she reads tides.

Anna strikes a bargain: his help with the soil for her silence. Then Elder Samuel walks up the drive, a red tide creeps toward the fishing grounds, and a storm puts out the lighthouse with twelve boats past the reef. An island keeps no secret for long.

The deacons sent Anna for a harvest. Nobody warned them what would take root on that cliff.
