Fogg's Island: The Education of Jacob Baxter

By JD Rule

Born and raised on a lonely island off the coast of Maine, Jacob Baxter's life was planned and predictable. So was that of his twin brother, Isaac. They would become fishermen, following the footsteps of the four generations that went before them.
For Jacob, all that changed when his teachers recognized his talent for math and encouraged him to head to the mainland for college - something very rare for the denizens of Fogg's Island. Nobody from his family had ever done this, and his friends couldn't understand why he wanted to. His brother remained behind, with wife, family, and a lobster-fishing license.
Once ashore, tragedy follows triumph, except he is no longer in the womb of his ancestors. Growing up with seafarers has taught him how to deal with one kind of misfortune, but now he is confronted by another kind. What must Jacob do to assuage the ghosts?
