When just twelve years old, Alick does what many boys dream of doing—he helps with the daring rescue attempt when a ship strikes the rocks near his island home. They are only able to save one person—a lively two-year-old named Timpey. Alick and his grandfather take care of her while her relatives are searched for. In the reunions and partings that follow, they learn the importance of building on Christ the rock.
