The Undertow is a love story, but it's not a romance novel. It is about the death of people and of things within us and bringing those things back to life. It talks about some truths that are stranger than fiction; about the long span of the arc from disaster to success. It talks about plants, but has nothing to do with gardening. It explores the meaning of life but knows better than to attempt to provide answers. It does betray some biases... That sometimes it is better not to know so much that you can't say ‘yes'. It is about conviction and doubt, about the preciousness of time, about the preciousness of being alive, and about the things we do that act on what we know.

Theodora (Teddie) Lington is a not-famous person living in an obscure part of the world, who has managed to make a red hot go of propositions that looked pretty damn impossible at the start. Teddie loves chocolate biscuits and her woolly-haired husband and is ferociously protective of the people she holds dear. For most of her conscious life, she has juggled an improbable array of improbably difficult things, though she understands that, in the scheme of things, that applies to a great many folks. She loves when her woolly-haired husband makes her tea in the morning.
