THE BLURB

A ten-day Caribbean cruise might sound like a fabulous way to spend the holidays. But Liz would rather be anywhere than stranded on a ship for her estranged father’s high school reunion.

While an anonymous note, an onboard mystery, and a cute boy help turn the tide on the unwanted trip, Liz and her father drift even further apart. However, when Liz's reckless actions create a tsunami of unintended consequences, she recognizes that she's drowning in pent-up hurt and anger. As her carefully created façade begins to ebb away, she turns to her faith and sets off to chart a new course for her life.

MY REVIEW

You’re never too young (or old) to learn valuable life lessons. And forgiveness is life changing.

For half of her young life, Liz has held a grudge and resented her father. And now, she is being forced into spending her Christmas holiday with him. Not at all what she had in mind. And definitely not her idea of a jolly holiday.

But as the cruise sets sail, Liz meets some interesting people on board, not the least of which is the oh-so-cute fellow teen passenger, Liz begins to realize that the cruise isn’t such a bad gig after all.

Throw in some mystery—and her own shenanigans [SPOILER]—and contrary to everything she expected, Liz discovers that she’s actually enjoying herself.

Ms. Wahl takes the reader on a delightful yet meaningful ‘cruise,’ as we, too, meet the various characters, and the challenges Liz faces. But most of all, the author takes Liz on a journey of another kind, a heart journey, leading her to discover valuable lessons in her young life.
