"Only by living and going through a difficult journey can we grow slowly." On a small island in South Carolina, the United States, an old house stands alone on the seaside. Fifty years ago, the boy and his parents who rented it mysteriously disappeared in a hurricane, and even the bones were never found. The old house has since become dilapidated and desolate, becoming what the islanders call a "sad cabin." After his mother died in a car accident, the 11-year-old boy Marco was sent to the island to live with his only relative, his great-aunt. The shadow of his childhood, the pain of losing his mother, the boring island life, and his strong curiosity drove Marco to approach the Sad House again and again throughout the summer, until one day, he seemed to see the boy who disappeared 50 years ago in the dark. Is it a ghost, a phantom, or an inner demon? All the secrets will be revealed when Marco breaks into the depths of the Sad House alone. This is a story about a young man's self-redemption, about grief and loss, but also about family love and growth. Like the waves gently washing over the beach, novels have the power to heal.
