What is The Saltwater Ghost about?
In the 1870s, Lainey Mercier, a young Mikmaq Indian girl, drowns herself off the coast of Saltwater, Prince Edward Island, after she is deserted by her Anglo-Saxon lover. In the 1980s, sixteen-year-old Garnet Macklin dies in a fall on the same stretch of coastline, after a fight with his best friend and childhood hero, Alden Jurrien. More than thirty years later, Alden is divorced, estranged from his children, burnt out in his college professor career, and trying to escape the guilt he still feels by living in India, teaching street-hardened teenagers who challenge both his heart and his patience. When Alden unexpectedly gets a job offer from the college in his hometown of Saltwater, he knows it may be the only way to find the peace of mind that running away never brought. He must go home. But the ghosts of the past are still thereand they wont let him rest.
