Abstract
Franny Stone has always been the kind of woman who is able to love but unable to stay.
Leaving behind everything but her research gear, she arrives in Greenland with a singular
purpose: to follow the last Arctic terns in the world on what might be their final
migration to Antarctica. Franny talks her way onto a fishing boat, and she and the
crew set sail, traveling ever further from shore and safety. But as Franny’s history
begins to unspool—a passionate love affair, an absent family, a devastating crime—it
becomes clear that she is chasing more than just the birds. When Franny's dark secrets
catch up with her, how much is she willing to risk for one more chance at redemption?
