Summary:
Nineteen year old Joni is loving life as an
adult—living on her own, dealing with grown-up things like jobs, hook-ups,
and doing her own laundry. Best of all: after finishing her first year at ASU,
she will never again be called a freshman.
But when her brother is suddenly killed in a car accident,
Joni’s adult life is turned upside down. Struggling to cope with
loss, guilt, and anger—not to mention the meddling of friends and family
trying to “fix” her—Joni is relieved to be presented with an escape in the form
of a sailing trip her brother had been planning for months before he died.
With her first step onto the sailing vessel Lady
Marguerite, Joni plunges into an adventure that will mark the beginning of
her real adult life—a journey across the ominous dark blue of
the Atlantic Ocean with a small, eccentric crew, and the young Captain Reid,
whose gorgeous looks are only outmatched by his talent for care and kindness.
Unfolding through the ups and downs of life at sea is an unforgettable story
reminding us that love will always be a work-in-progress and coming of age
never gets old.
