Synopsis
Set during and immediately following World War II, Sea Room tells the story of three generations of lobstermen and the rich lives they have built on the rugged coast of Maine. The Dupuy family, French Canadians who have made the Acadian Coast their home, live lives of quiet honor and warm simplicity.
Until the war ravages their peaceful existence.
This is the story of how one generation reaches across to the next and offers enough love and hope to make living worthwhile again. It is about holding on to a dream—in this case building a fine sailboat—in order to hold on to love. By pursuing their dream, the Dupuys learn that those they have lost really do live on.
This is also the coming of age story of young Jordi Dupuy, who, by following the code of honor passed down by his grandfather and father, chooses to live a life of integrity—even if it means facing a charge of murder.
And, finally, this is about finding sea room—the freedom that only comes when one is pushed to the limits of adversity and chooses hope when despair seems the only option.

From the Publisher
I was immediately swept away in time and place by this evocative and accomplished first novel. Norman Gautreau has created an irresistible universe that centers on a saltwater farm on the rugged coast of Maine during World War II.
This is the story of family love and courage under unspeakable circumstances. And the honorable lives of the member of the Dupuy family teach us that, with enough hope, we can always find a little sea room.
About the Author
After a career as a management consultant and public speaking coach, Norman Gautreau left the profession to pursue his writing career. He and his wife drastically simplified their lives, sacrificing much of what they had accumulated, and today he writes full time, with his wife as a loving, but tough editor. They live in Wakefield, MA. Sea Room is his first novel.
