Publisher's Synopsis
When a fearsome tsunami hits the holiday island of Phuket, Thailand, a married couple must face the effects of the terrible wave on their children and their lives. He is the general manager of a local luxury hotel, and she is a successful author, but neither of them is prepared for the tragedy of losing both of their children in a freak wave. The disaster is eventually recognized as the greatest death-dealing event in recent times; and the rest of the world hurries to provide relief aid to a stricken South-east Asia. Even so, this is not enough to provide comfort for the families of the nearly three hundred thousand dead and many injured victims. During the weeks following the tragedy, there are successes and failures, but the future appears to hold a bright promise, until a cataclysmic event overturns the family's plans.
