a century previously, recreating it as a sea estuary. The water drowns farmland, creates an island from a farmstead on a bluff, but destroys a nearby home, washing away a boy, a girl and their parents. The girl is saved by the father and son now marooned on their island, Loft Island; the others are dead.<\/p><p>The Lofts take Mary in. They have to encounter the injustices of the time, the 1950s, and attitudes which are foreign to modern life. They find support and friends, as well as both sympathetic and unsympathetic officialdom. They endure the inquest and the funerals, each of which is made traumatic by the unwanted attentions of a relative of the girl who believes she should become her guardian.<\/p><p>The two youngsters, hardly out of childhood, naturally support each other. Gradually their life-long friendship develops, in total innocence and without either realising it.<\/p><p>Around them, the farm can no longer provide a living. Poverty rears its head.<\/p><p>And then the girl, Mary, disappears without trace. Stephen&#8217;s father tries to provide an income through smuggling but is arrested. Stephen is distraught about the loss of both Henry, his father and Mary, his friend. But is there an ally in a local woman?<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-af02a75 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"af02a75\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-a7be4e3\" data-id=\"a7be4e3\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\" data-settings=\"{&quot;animation&quot;:&quot;none&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-a70485b elementor-testimonial--skin-bubble elementor-testimonial--layout-image_inline elementor-testimonial--align-center elementor-arrows-yes elementor-pagination-type-bullets elementor-widget elementor-widget-testimonial-carousel\" data-id=\"a70485b\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;space_between&quot;:{&quot;unit&quot;:&quot;px&quot;,&quot;size&quot;:18,&quot;sizes&quot;:[]},&quot;autoplay_speed&quot;:10000,&quot;show_arrows&quot;:&quot;yes&quot;,&quot;pagination&quot;:&quot;bullets&quot;,&quot;speed&quot;:500,&quot;autoplay&quot;:&quot;yes&quot;,&quot;loop&quot;:&quot;yes&quot;,&quot;pause_on_hover&quot;:&quot;yes&quot;,&quot;pause_on_interaction&quot;:&quot;yes&quot;,&quot;space_between_tablet&quot;:{&quot;unit&quot;:&quot;px&quot;,&quot;size&quot;:10,&quot;sizes&quot;:[]},&quot;space_between_mobile&quot;:{&quot;unit&quot;:&quot;px&quot;,&quot;size&quot;:10,&quot;sizes&quot;:[]}}\" data-widget_type=\"testimonial-carousel.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-swiper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-main-swiper swiper\" role=\"region\" aria-roledescription=\"carousel\" aria-label=\"Slides\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"swiper-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"swiper-slide\" role=\"group\" aria-roledescription=\"slide\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-testimonial\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-testimonial__content\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-testimonial__text\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\tThis is an excellent, absorbing, and thought provoking YA adventure book written by a local author.
