The Boy From The Sea

 In the book The Boy From the Sea, the story starts in 1973 in a small fishing village in Donegal, Ireland. A boy, merely days old, is found in a bucket in the sea. A man sees him and carries him to down. As the author, Garret Carr, writes, the boy is adopted by Ambrose and Christine who already have a two year old son named Declan. They decide to adopt this boy and name him Brendan. Ambrose has a fondness for Brendan. Declan gets jealous and rightly so. Ambrose is a fisherman more comfortable on the sea than on land. Declan decides to go into the fishing industry so he can be closer with his father. I greatly enjoyed reading this historical fiction novel set in Ireland.
