Tom Wingo has spent his life outrunning the wreckage of his childhood. But when his twin sister Savannah attempts suicide, he’s forced to confront the past they both tried to bury.
In the sterile corridors of a New York hospital and the haunting tides of South Carolina’s coast, Tom relives the beauty, violence, and secrets of a family torn by pain and silence.
As he opens up to Savannah’s psychiatrist, what begins as storytelling becomes a reckoning. Every memory carries weight. Every revelation risks unraveling what’s left of the life Tom has built.
Spanning decades and landscapes, The Prince of Tides is a sweeping American epic about trauma, forgiveness, and the indelible bond between siblings.
Some wounds don’t heal until you name them.
