Audiobook Summary:

Castlibrary UK is proud to present The Water is Wide. This audiobook is available for download for our UK based customers.

Yamacraw Island is nearly deserted. No one has paid much attention to it, nor to the few poor black families that live there. But this beautiful, haunting slip of land across the water from South Carolina is home to them, and they've lived off the bounty from the sea for generations. But now their very existence is challenged. Industrial waste, pouring into the water from which they pull their catches, threatens the only vocation they've known. Unless they can learn a new way of life, they will surely perish.

The Water is Wide is the true story of a young white schoolteacher - a man who gave a year of his life to give an island and a people renewed hope. He becomes the teacher of their children, and teaches the adults of Yamacraw Island extraordinary lessons they didn't even know they needed to learn.
