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.
