Seventeen-year-old Honey Griffin doesn't look forward to life as much as others her age. Because of a threatening heart condition that teases to take her life away, the only thing that she wants is to live a peaceful life. But her wish is far from granted when she and her parents move away from the big city to Breaker's Bay, a small seaside town where a doctor promises a chance to be healed. Her life is further disrupted when a cast of unexpectedly strange people challenge her limits and teach her to view life from a different perspective. By stepping into this small town, Honey inadvertently steps into a huge world that opens her eyes and lets her see why life is so important and what makes it worth while, even when you're half-dead.
