Tossed and Shaped by the Distant Sea: To Live and To Love is a collection of fifty linked stories and poems about life, love, loss and challenge. Set on Harmony Island, most stories emerge from the island itself. You will read a personal narrative about the challenge of crossing from mainland to island in a small boat on a stormy winter night. Two stories explore the event of an elderly neighbor's wandering away into the woods and the community's response. "Without Him" captures in poetry the rhythms of a CPR rescue. "She Talks to Flowers" is a whimsical poem about a life-altering relationship with plants.

A few writings are set elsewhere: Paris, a classroom, a child's room. A friend wrote: "What stays with me is...that the book is really a love story -- of you and Matt, the island, what grows on it, the community... and the sea."
