We Wear the Sea Like a Coat

We Wear the Sea Like a Coat tells the contemporary story of an American couple living on an island in Orkney, Scotland for a year.  Sara, an oceanographer, is on an environmental assignment.  Jonathan, a writer, is newly unemployed.  As outsiders, they find themselves at the center of conflict between conservation and exploitation.  In a radically changing world, they face their own existential questions about building a family. As truths unfold, Sara is forced to come to terms with what matters most.
