Sienna is a 15 year old girl still trying to recover from her mother’s disappearance over the Indian Ocean 3 years ago while on a relief mission. Her father convinces her to join him on a volunteer team to work with orphans from the tsunami ravaged Indonesia. There she meets Deni who is also having to deal with the possibility that his father was killed in the tsunami. When they first meet they both instantly feel a connection with each other and are bound on the journey to face their own fears regarding their parent’s fate.

This story was beautifully written and I loved reading about the Indonesian culture and seeing the hope that many of these orphans retain even after this horrible natural disaster. The main reason I couldn't rate this higher was that I found some of Sienna’s actions irritatingly selfish and had to keep reminding myself that she was only 15. I actually did not care much for her character but loved the rest of the characters. Despite that the story will definitely draw you into the lives of those who survived this disaster.
