Our journey had no destination. And we weren’t going home in the end, because we had no home. We were on the run.

Daphne Berman was born on the whitewashed decks of a 38-foot Catalina sailboat to parents obsessed with saving the Earth’s great bodies of water, one port at a time. But when a devastating accident leaves her wayfaring family shattered, Daphne is forced to live on land for the first time.

After touching down in New Jersey, Daphne is enrolled in Harrison, the same strict rural boarding school her mother attended as a girl. Surrounded by crumbling ivy-covered walls that can barely contain the secrets locked behind them, Daphne begins to unearth a string of dark clues that lead to an unsolved murder and the truth behind her family’s exile at sea.
