"A warm June evening, a local tradition: the students of Nantucket High have gathered for a bonfire on the beach. But what begins as a graduation night celebration ends in tragedy after a horrible car crash leaves the driver of the car, Penny Alistair, dead, and her twin brother in a coma. The other passengers, Penny's boyfriend Jake and her friend Demeter, are physically unhurt - but the emotional damage is overwhelming, and questions linger about what happened before Penny took the wheel.

 

As summer unfolds, startling truths are revealed about the survivors and their parents - secrets kept, promises broken, hearts betrayed. Elin Hilderbrand explores the power of community, family, and honesty, and proves that even from the ashes of sorrow, new love can still take flight."

Nantucket: In the Midst of Waters DVD

Our talented friend Cary Hazlegrove has assembled a gorgeous montage of images, video, and narrative for an evocative look at our island. Her unique perspective calms me every time I view her work.

The DVD makes a beautiful souvenir or gift for anyone who longs to retain the tranquility of the island year-round.

Stop by the Nantucket Room upstairs at Mitchell's to preview the DVD (as well as other Nantucket DVD offerings) on our trusty flatscreen.
