I was led through a gripping story, beginning with unintentional identity theft and then on to the high seas, with rich characters forging deep connections through serendipity and chemistry. I did not put the book down until I had savoured the epilogue's satisfying revelations. A terrific read! -Janet Manuel, poet and choral singer, Summerville, Nova Scotia
