An uplifting story of the friendship between an amnesiac immigrant woman and a lively little girl.

The canning factory is the heart of the village. That's where all the work goes on, where the fishermen’s houses and the "zone" are–the place where big fish carcasses are recycled into housing. That’s where Zarra’s lifeboat washes up one night. When a little girl named Wendi finds her unconscious on the rocks, Zarra can’t remember where she came from or even her own name. Wendi helps her find housing and a job. Over time, their friendship helps Zarra recover. But she still can't recall who she is. A heartfelt illustrated novel in a unique setting, tackling themes of immigration and poverty with tenderness and humour.
