BY THE MORNING BOAT, a Short Story by Sarah O Jewett

"Amid the fragrant balsams and salty breezes of a Maine coastline, a small, weather-beaten house harbors not just the weary bodies of its inhabitants, but also their quietly powerful tales. As the sun rises, casting the day's first golden light, an old man, weathered like the shore's rocks, gazes out to sea, pondering a farewell that tugs sharply at the heartstrings. Join the lives intertwined with the rhythm of the waves, where each tide brings both a fresh start and a poignant reminder of what's left behind—this is a story of longing, legacy, and the bittersweet promise of the morning boat."

As a woman with Maritime Canadian roots, this story resonated with me. I think the ancestors were listening 😊
