The Ocean at the End of the Lane

A middle-aged man returns to his childhood home and is drawn to the farm at the end of the road where, when he was seven, he encountered a most remarkable girl and her mother and grandmother. As he sits by the pond ­behind the ramshackle old house, the unremembered past comes flooding back?a past too strange, too frightening, too dangerous to have happened to anyone, let alone a small boy.
