By Donna Hill. In the autumn of 1880, sixteen year old Daniel is appalled at the idea of spending the next eight months with his crude uncle at a Life Saving Station on Cape Cod. Daniel is prepared to hate everything about his new life, and at first it seems as comfortless and unrewarding as he had imagined. The only thing he looks forward to is his rescue training, confident in his skills as an athlete, familiar with boats since childhood, he is eager for opportunities to show his superiority to the rest of the crew. But the work is unexpectedly demanding, and - even more surprising, Daniel finds himself beginning to respect and admire the surfmen who risk their lives to save those lost in shipwrecks on the coast. Shipwrecks and rescues form the dramatic backdrop to this story of a boys coming of age in the early days of the United States Life Saving Service.
