But he hasn't stolen Rona's skin, and they both believe their relationship is different. He doesn't need to be that guy. She doesn't need to run. But as their children grow into troubled teens, Jack and Rona begin falling into roles they've sworn to put aside.Most selkie stories are about the beginning or the end, but this one is about the middle. How do you live with a family past of people disappearing into the sea? How do you avoid the same wrong act everyone has committed before you? And what is love--for a child, a spouse, a mortal world--in the face of history?Set in a mythic, contemporary Pacific Northwest shaped by Native and European storytelling, artist communes, and corporate fakelore, The Sea-Glass Shore is a domestic fable about the power of the past and the making of a daily present.Julie Salmon Kelleher grew up in five different towns in Washington State, and currently teaches in the Honors College at Western Washington University. Granddaughter to an Irish lawyer, an English teacher, a farm wife, and a logger turned dairyman, she lives with her family in a Cascadian college town, midway between the mountains and the sea.About Third Place BooksFounded in 1998 in Lake Forest Park, Washington, Third Place Books is dedicated to the creation of a community around books and the ideas inside them.
