âA truly inspirational story about finding the courage to face your fearsâ â Mel Darbon
Jonah is Rioâs big brother. Itâs his job. It always has been. Especially when Mam does one of her disappearing acts, like now. Her nameâs Marina, which means âfrom the seaâ. And just like the sea: she changes with the wind. She comes, she goes.
The sea was there the last time Jonah and Rio saw her. The Whitby Sea. And it wasnât in a good mood. No-one has seen Mam since that day and the social workers say . . . sheâs not coming back this time.
