![]() ![]() Moira ultimately blames herself and is torn apart by the fact that she wasn't a more caring sister and more at hand when Amy was growing up. Indeed, she was almost left for dead to slowly bleed to death on top of Church Rock. Moira never imagined that her sister could fall from such a great height, nothing so brutal, with the gulls screaming, the sharp hard drag of her knees across the rocks, and "later the doctor plucking a muscle out of her skull." ![]() "It is in you then, the sea, it's a part of you," laments twenty-seven-year-old Moira Stone as she sits next to Amy, her teenage sister who lies on her back in a coma in a hospital bed with her eyes permanently closed, "held forever silently beneath the surface." Wracked with guilt and regret, Moira tells of how her days are now spent in a white, west-facing house on an English coast with Ray, her landscape artist husband.
