December 2004

Sam and his parents are leaving behind frostbitten New York City for their annual vacation in lush, sun-soaked Thailand. A swim meet is keeping Sam's sister, from joining them on the trip, and as she bids her family farewell at the airport she had no idea that what awaits them is a natural disaster of unimaginable proportions.

Over the next few days, Sam will find himself thrust into the very center of a crisis the would never have anticipated--one that will test his instinct to survive--while Beth, safe at home halfway across the world, wonders if she will ever see her family again.

Told in alternating voices of Sam and Beth, Wave is an unforgettable and moving account of a terrifying and dramatic true event.
