This is the story of Jane and Kenji. It''s a story about love, and a story about disaster. It''s summer on Hilo, and ambitious, driven Jane Yoon is home from college. Waiting tables one evening, she crosses paths with Kenji Lee, a boy from her childhood whose present and future are firmly rooted on their little island. Over the summer, a spark ignites between this unlikely pairing. But when a tsunami hits the island, Jane and Kenji are plunged into grief, and torn apart. While Kenji knows he has to stay and rebuild their home, Jane flees - and doesn''t look back. Seven years later, far from home, Jane and Kenji''s paths cross again - by chance, or by fate? Everything to the Sea is a tale of regret and remembrance, home-building and homecoming, betrayal and forgiveness. And above all, it is a story about love: what it survives, and what it can rebuild.
