Love from their neighbours, the Junketts, the only other Black family in town. And love for their adopted hometown of Salt Point, a beautiful New England village perched high up on coastal bluffs. But as the girls hit adolescence, their white neighbours, including Ezra's best friend, Ruby, start to see their maturing bodies and minds in a different way.

Harry Jacobsen is a disgraced failure of a foreign correspondent. Fired from a respected New York City paper, he takes refuge as editor for a small weekly in a quiet town on the Chesapeake.

The captain, Walker John Douglas, had crashed his vessel after killing two white women and burning down half the town in a period of racial unrest. Harry's investigative reporter instincts kick in, and he begins to delve into the history of Walker and the infamous inferno.
