In fisherman tales, there's always talk about the one that got away… This is that story.When they were in high school, Brock and Courtney felt they were destined to be together. They'd had their future all mapped out. Until a week before graduation, when two pink lines changed everything, diverting the course of the life they'd planned.
Young and scared, Courtney made the impossible decision to keep it a secret and leave their hometown, never planning to return, and breaking both their hearts in the process.
And for years, her plan works. Until her abusive father dies, leaving her mother rudderless in her newfound freedom. Returning home with her secret daughter is the only answer. But what will happen when she comes face-to-face with the past she's tried so hard to forget but couldn't?
Thirteen years after the only woman Brock has ever loved ran from the small Alaskan island they'd called home, he learns she's back—with a preteen daughter. Too many emotions and unanswered questions hang heavy between them. And when the answers are brought to light, the chasm between them widens further. Will it be possible for them to reconcile for their daughter's sake?

We were sad to see the series end, but we were happy that Brock found his happily ever after with his girls. The story was filled with emotions, family, friends, and second chances. , growth, and taking responsibility for your actions.
To be honest, we never really warmed up to Courtney as a character. While she was a wonderful mother and hard-working, it was hard to overlook the fact that she waited 13 years to make amends for her past choices.
Brock, on the other hand, was amazing after discovering he was a father. Despite his conflicting emotions, he prioritized getting to know his daughter and ensuring her well-being.
Althoughour feelings towards Courtney were mixed, we appreciated how the story unfolded, focusing on rebuilding relationships and navigating new beginnings. We also admired how Brock sought support from his friends and family during challenging times and handled a life-changing secret with grace.
Overall, the story evokes a range of emotions, drawing readers in and providing a glimpse into the lives of those who work at sea.,
