When Susannah Delaney discovers her young son is being bullied and her adolescent daughter is spinning out of control, she moves them to remote, rustic Sounder Island to live for a year. A simple island existence?with no computers or electricity and only a one-room schoolhouse?is just what her over scheduled East Coast kids need to learn what's really important in life.
