Undine was not a new boat. In fact, she had been decades old when, through neglect, she had sunk into a watery grave. Like her namesake, she rose from the water to participate in the lives of mere mortals. Unlike her however, she wasn't jealous, requiring only that her consort pay adequate attention to her needs. In return, she provided safety and comfort, and often, healing.
Undine passes to a new owner, one with a dysfunctional family. A long summer voyage leads to rediscovery of familial love, as well as the love between a man and a woman.
