Stare at the Sea

"Aoife," said Sarah, "you always mention how you were a dance teacher before you moved here, and you take care of Miss Wilcox now, but you never mention what you used to do before that. Did you go to uni? Did you have any other jobs?" "Not really." Sarah sighed and Aoife tensed. "Aoife." Sarah's voice was quiet. "I don't want you to feel like there is anything you have to hide from me. I won't judge you." "I know. But some things aren't nice to remember." When Aoife Stewart moves to the sunny seaside town of Brighton, she finds hope and a fresh start. For over five years now she has felt tossed around in life like a bottle on the water, unable to find solid ground beneath her feet. The view of the sea from her apartment window is exactly what Aoife needs. But when she meets Sarah and Martin, she begins to face her past - and is forced to relive one of the most painful experiences of her life.
