βA truly inspirational story about finding the courage to face your fearsβ β Mel Darbon
Jonah is Rioβs big brother. Itβs his job. It always has been. Especially when Mam does one of her disappearing acts, like now. Her nameβs Marina, which means βfrom the seaβ. 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 wasnβt in a good mood. No-one has seen Mam since that day and the social workers say . . . sheβs not coming back this time.
