The Patched Sea

Season Holidae is a thirteen-year-old competent swimmer who lost her mother in a one-car accident last year. The aftermath of it all distresses Season to the point of becoming irresponsible and belligerent. Her father, Xavier, makes a difficult decision and arranges for Season to stay the entire summer with her Aunt Autumn in Hollins, South Carolina. What was supposed to be a constructive punishment in building character and accountability, leads to a survival lesson. As she spends enough time in this town, she begins to witness bizarre events, a liturgical population, and a mysterious beach where she encounters Yusef, an estranged but affable teenager. The sea alone possesses a dark secret that serves in developing Hollins and its cryptic past. It is up to Season to figure out this town's history and how her family is involved in it.
