THIS IS HOW THE STORY OF JANE AND KENJI GOES.
Home in Hilo, Hawai'i for one final summer, Jane is working and saving for her senior year before she leaves her island town behind forever. At first, she doesn't remember Kenji. To Kenji, she's unforgettable: Janie, nose perpetually buried in her old high school sketchbooks.
THEY WILL FALL IN LOVE.
Jane tells herself it's only a fling – one perfect, carefree summer, on her way to achieving her dream of becoming an architect and moving to the continent. But as the days pass, the pair find themselves falling hard into first love.
AND THEN EVERYTHING WILL VANISH.
Then tragedy strikes – when a tsunami destroys much of Hilo, leaving both Jane and Kenji convulsed with grief. While Jane leaves, unable to look back, Kenji stays, bound by duty to rebuild their community.
WHEN ALL IS LOST, HOW DO WE FIND OUR WAY HOME?
Seven years later, Jane and Kenji collide again – and find that the past is not as easily laid to rest as they thought.
A decade-long story of home and belonging, destruction and renewal, betrayal and forgiveness, Everything to the Sea is an unforgettable love story - about what it means to rebuild a life worthy of what was lost.
