The Wideness of the Sea by Katie Curtis is a story of
family, following your dreams and returning home. Anna Goodrich is a
28-year-old art gallery worker in New York City with friends and a handsome
boyfriend. She rarely thinks about her family in her hometown of New Harbor, Maine.
She left it all behind after the death of her beloved mother. One day she gets
terrible news. Her uncle had passed away suddenly and Anna finds herself on the
road back home for his funeral. While she is there, she must deal with her
widowed father who she has butted heads with about her career path. She
discovers that her uncle has left her his house and she must stay to clean it
out. Anna finds herself being pulled back into life of the seaside town. Her
boyfriend, boss, and friends are urging her to return to her life in New York.
Anna must decide does she stay in Maine or does she return in New York? Will
she be able to find healing from the past and find the life she has been
searching for?
The Wideness of the Sea is a beautiful story of family,
tragedy and finding healing by the sea. Ms. Curtis’ descriptions of Maine are
so vivid, I could almost smell the saltiness of the ocean. I would love to
visit Maine now after reading her story. The ending was predictable, and you
can see it coming a mile away; however, it is still a beautiful story of
forgiveness and discovering where you truly belong. I loved the scene where
Anna realizes that our loved ones never truly leave us. We are always connected
through our memories and love. I recommend The Wideness of the Sea.
