About this audiobook
A hand-laid rope is five strands worked around a heart yarn, and if you cut the heart, the five that are left have to each take the load true or the whole line renders and lets go under strain. I know this the way I know my own hands, because laying rope is the trade my father taught me before the sea took him, and it is the only thing in Almond Mill that has never once lied to me.
I came back to a dying harbor town to bury a grief, not to fall in love. I certainly did not come back to fall in love with five men at once. But they were the ones who came home from the wreck that took my father, five men who were supposed to be six, and every one of them has been carrying the weight of that night the way I carry a bad line, feeling for the place it is about to part. Isaac, who built the boat and cannot forgive the joinery. Callum, who turned back too late. Desmond, who could not pull them all from the water. Torin, who serviced the engine. And Emrys, who keeps the record of the dead and speaks their names out loud so no one forgets.
I was not supposed to love any of them, let alone all of them. But a developer wants our working waterfront razed to slack water, and the truth of the night my father died is not the truth we were told, and it turns out the only way five broken strands and one stubborn ropemaker survive what is coming is to stop competing for the load and share it. No one carrying the whole rope alone. No one made to be second.
This is the story of one storm season on the Carolina shore, of a grief laid down and a name cleared and a life none of us saw coming, chosen out loud, in the open, by all six of us. Love laid true is not a contest between strands. It is what holds when the heart is gone and the weather comes on.
