About This Book
Reach for this book when your teenager is struggling with the 'unfinished business' of a loss or the heavy expectation of following in a parent's footsteps. It provides a unique window into how grief can become a motivator, following Sebastian Cabot as he navigates the shadow of his famous, missing father. It is an ideal pick for those who find comfort in historical distance while processing very modern feelings of abandonment and legacy. The story blends maritime adventure with a deep psychological exploration of a son seeking closure. While the 15th-century setting is immersive, the core of the novel is Sebastian's internal journey from resentment to understanding. Parents will appreciate the way it treats a young man's grief with dignity and complexity, offering a mature perspective on how we honor those we have lost without losing ourselves in the process.
