My Father's Migration and Return
Shipwrecked on a Samoan island, Cambridge naturalist Samuel Whitford discovers a second life he never expected to find. The village welcomes him. The work fulfills him. But it's Sina -- brilliant, graceful, utterly unlike anyone he's known -- who transforms him completely. Their love deepens as they build a family together, learning to bridge two worlds and two ways of understanding nature itself. Yet Samuel's survival is a secret his grieving English family cannot bear to know. When his past arrives on the island demanding the truth, Samuel is torn between the woman he loves and the wife he left behind, between the man he's become and the man he was meant to be. Some choices demand everything.

Meticulously researched and exquisitely rendered, My Father's Migration and Return brings early-eighteenth-century science, colonial ambition, and Pacific island culture to vivid life. With the narrative precision of a naturalist's journal and the emotional depth of a literary novel, Middleton crafts a story of transformation that honors both historical authenticity and the complexity of the human heart. Essential reading for devotees of literary historical fiction.

Readers of Sh?gun and Outlander will especially enjoy this immersive tale.
