About this audiobook

In the novel The Cay, a young white boy and an old black man are stranded on a small sandy cay in the Caribbean Sea following a shipwreck. Eleven-year-old Phillip was blinded by flying debris when a torpedo struck the SS Hato, and old Timothy has taught him how to survive. This prequel-sequel tells the rest of their tale in alternating chapters--the compelling story of two very different people who share the courage and tenacity to turn their dreams into reality.

Ratings and reviews

This story was a wonderful example of the power of redemption when we've accidentally hurt people. Praying for forgiveness and finding opportunity to do good to those that come in our path are brought out in this book. It was great to get the backstory about Timothy!
