<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>It should have been a relaxing day at the beach for Dr. Clair Mercer and her family. But an argument with husband Adam distracts her from watching their four-year-old autistic son, and tragedy strikes when a sneaker wave sweeps him away. Clair's well-ordered life is plunged into madness, and after attempting to murder her husband, she walks into the ocean. Arrested, charged, and awaiting trial on a locked psychiatric unit, can she discover a path to forgiveness, for herself and the husband she tried to kill? <i>The Wave</i> is a beautifully-written debut novel that explores the emotional complexity of family life and how suffering, self-realization, and the power of love can heal even the most wounded bonds of trust.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"<i>The Wave</i> is an atmospheric, thoughtful story about self-discovery and the chance to start again.
