This is a story about the depression-era. Set on the east coast in a mill town where tension is high about wages, especially with the stock market crash.

Sea Glass weaves an eclectic group of characters together - Honora and Sexton young ones; McDermott the guy ruffian with a good heart, Francis the tween who just wants to be out of his chaotic household and Vivian the bourgeois 28-year-old "spinster" thrown into the mix. Their lives are soon co-mingled in heartache and heartbreak.

But above all, there is sea glass.
