Summer is supposed to be fun, but things have never been worse for eight-year-old Jack Bolton and his nine-year-old sister, Emma. Spending the summer with grandparents he has never met is not Jack's idea of fun. And Grandpa bringing horses to the farm has Emma sick with fear. The siblings remember Dad saying, “We can trust God to bring us through anything,” but they are finding it hard to believe God's promises with Mom and Dad so far away. His promises must be Forever Settled in their hearts.

In this rich collection, Salisbury’s love for Hawaii and its encircling sea shines through every story. Readers will share the rush a boy feels when he leaps off a cliff into a ravine or feasts his eyes on a beautiful woman. They’ll find stories that show what it takes to survive prep school, or a hurricane, or the night shift at Taco Bell, or first love. Graham Salisbury knows better than anyone what makes an island boy take chances. Or how it feels to test the waters, to test the limits, and what it’s like when a beloved older brother comes home from war, never to be the same.From the Hardcover edition.

Sixth grader "Boy" Regis loves his family, their Hawaiian village, and the sea. But he's terrified of the wild dogs that lurk in the jungle along his paper route. His older brother Damon calls him "Sissyboy," and jumps into the middle of Boy's own battles at school. "Fight or die," Damon says, and "How can you be my brother?" Boy is no sissy, and he's determined to face the jungle dogs. If he can do that, he can find a way to show Damon: You don't always have to fight to win a battle.
