Death is always a tragedy. In Scofield's Little Ships, it's the death of Karin that turns the lives of her family upside down.
Her husband Nick is afloat in a sea of hopelessness. Her children are the ones who found her and drift together in the pain of loss. Her mother and mother-in-law cling to their grandchildren, often at odds with each other. On top of it all, the family carries a sorrowful history. Little Ships explores the mending of family in the face of devastation and the weight of being a woman tasked with holding it all together.
Karin's husband was never ready to be a father. Moving in with his parents makes it easier for him to be absent. Eleanor and Helve are thrust into their new roles as grandmothers. They find themselves at odds with each other despite their shared goal of ensuring that their granddaughters Juni and Tilde have what they need to be okay again. But growing girls are a force to be reckoned with, especially when kept secrets make common ground difficult to find.
