Nine-year-old Annabelle lives in the coastal town of Swakopmund, where the sound of the ocean is a constant companion-but so is a sadness she can't quite name. On the morning of her birthday, forgotten and overshadowed by old wounds, Annabelle receives a mysterious letter that begins her emotional journey toward healing. With her loyal Labrador, Bella, and the quiet strength of her dad, Anton, she navigates grief, betrayal, and the fragile beauty of forgiveness. Through journal entries, beach walks, and late-night whispers, Annabelle learns that letting go doesn't mean forgetting-it means opening her heart to love again. When a visit from her estranged mother stirs painful memories, Annabelle must decide what family truly means. Set against the windswept dunes and rhythmic tides of Namibia's coast, this tender, beautifully illustrated story is a celebration of resilience, connection, and the healing power of the sea.
