Synopsis: How Wide the Heart focuses on Ellen Douglass, daughter of Joanna Bennett and her first husband, Alec. Ellen has returned home to Bennett’s Island after graduating from high school on the mainland and is looking forward to the serenity of the island and spending time with her family. Once there, however, she finds herself torn between two very different paths--should she continue her education at a Boston art school, or marry her childhood sweetheart and become a lobsterman’s wife? The story becomes more complicated when a mysterious summer visitor rents Owen Bennett’s fish house, and attracts Ellen’s attention. In this moving tale of Joanna’s daughter, Ogilvie provides not only a previously unseen glimpse into the Bennett family, but also an insightful rendering of the life-altering decisions we all must face.
