Some Waves Destroy. Others Carry You Forward. Aallotar had it all—until a tsunami swept it all away. Once a twelve-year-old Finnish ski prodigy, she is now a barefoot beggar on the streets of Thailand. Half a world away, a thirteen-year-old boy in San Francisco wrestles with life, death, and faith. A chance encounter binds them forever. He can't forget her. She can't let anyone in. Years later, he is fighting climate change. She is battling the storms that destroyed her past. When they meet again at a global climate summit, he sees the girl who lost everything—and found her power. She sees the boy who never stopped believing in her. Can she trust love after the waves took it all?
