This collection has stories and anecdotes that are reminder of the ocean. They have the emotions of parting, longing, waiting and the daily life which is affected by a coastal life.
The stories demonstrate the obvious truth of the matter that the sea can be both enchanting and entrancing, even grasping, holding, to the point of some individuals actually being forever linked and bonded to the sea, to the ocean and that any and all domiciles not near the water's edge simply do not and will not work (as is described and depicted in Along the Shore: Tales by the Sea especially glowingly and passionately with The Magical Bond of the Sea and A Soul That Was Not at Home, where in both cases, the main protagonists end up having to return to their original oceanside homes, as they can simply not adequately and with health and happiness exist anywhere but near the ocean, near the water, even for education, even for the chance of societal advancement).
