On shore leave, he met Isabel, fell in love and got married. After two miscarriages and a stillbirth, they found a rowboat washed up on shore with a dead man and a crying baby. Isabel saw this as God’s answer to her prayers and, against his better judgment, Isabel eventually talked Tom into not reporting the death and keeping the baby as their own. This is a heart-rending story of bad choices made by good people, of rationalizations for seemingly right reasons, and the unintended hurt caused to others when two years later they find the baby’s mother is alive and still mourning.
