The Spirits of the Coast

VOICES IN THE WIND

“Spirits of the Coast” by Todd Value chronicles the raw and transformative journey through the highs and lows of a life that has been shaped by the ocean, spiritual battles, and searches for purpose.

Raised in Hawaii, Todd’s connection to the sea is deep-rooted; surfing becomes both a passion and metaphor to help navigate through the chaos in his family, areas of his identity and loss.

As Todd matures into adulthood, his past continues to overshadow him, and darker stimuli lead him into the very uncertain world of street racing, the marijuana trade for profit, and dangerous dealings with other people.

However, even as he confronts the most inexorable realities, Todd is inexorably swept into supernatural experiences that refute all he has heretofore believed he knew about good and evil. Ghostly romps in haunted mansions and divine intercessions at times of crisis have scooped Todd’s life into a constant struggle between light and darkness.

Through it all, “Spirits of the Coast” is a story of survival — of discovering light in the face of gloaming and the power to rise above troubles.
