Ray Corning's three daughters grew up as strangers, scattered across the world-until his long-buried secret surfaced.

In Sydney, twenty-year-old Julia Corning spends her days surfing and dodging Ray's rigid expectations. In London, Miriam Worthington, a celebrated actress, feels trapped in a television role she's outgrown, her mother's sudden death shattering her foundation, pulling her toward self-sabotage. Meanwhile, in Southern California, Catrina McDavid is laser-focused on her career, determined to escape the financial instability of her youth.

When Miriam hires a private investigator to track down her father, she discovers two half-sisters. For Julia, the revelation is the push she needs to break away and forge her own path. For Catrina, it's an unwelcome distraction from a high-stakes career move. As their lives intersect, the sisters must confront the lasting imprint of a father who was either too controlling or entirely absent.

Ocean Child is a sweeping, character-driven novel about family, reinvention, and the relationships we never see coming.
