Mother Sea

In an island community facing extinction, can hope rise stronger than grief?

Sisi de Mathilde lives on a remote island in the Indian Ocean. With the seas rising, the birth rate plummeting and her community under threat, she works as a scientist, reporting on local climate conditions to help protect her island home.

But her life is thrown into turmoil when she finds herself newly widowed and unexpectedly pregnant. When a group of outsiders try to persuade her community to abandon the island, Sisi is caught between the sacred ' old ways' of her ancestors and the possibilities offered by the outside world. As tensions rise Sisi must fight to save her home, her people and her unborn child.
