The Ocean's Hand - Tapa blanda

The ocean not only directs the fish within its waters but can determine the course of the men on its surface. Is it possible the sea can guide the souls of men to alter the course to their destiny? The Ocean’s Hand poses this provocative question. After a father sails away leaving his child bereft on a beach in Micronesia, the story takes us on a 3800 mile journey, across the ocean to Hawaii where a man belonging to an opulent family of landowners will make a frightening but astonishing discovery on the island of Kauai.

Phyllis Fraser is a graduate of UC Berkeley and was a social worker in the San Francisco Bay Area after she and her four children moved from Hawaii. The story is written as fiction and is an imaginative journey through her life and marriage on Kauai and is the inspiration for this book.
