"WOW, What a book! I read about 10 books a month and this one was by far one of

the best I have read. I laughed, I cried and even got mad. This is a great read.”

"I read at least 3 books a week, but once in a while one stands way above the rest. There is not just one thing that makes it so unputdownable, but grabs you from the beginning and holds you to the last page. It like going back to the excitement of childhood, it's like a family get together. It has action, adventure, mystery, love and faith all put together in a story that will stay with you. I loved it and am eagerly looking forward to another book from this author."

"This book had me laughing out loud but it also had me sobbing. I've been a reader all my life and I'm 72 now. This book I would rate a 10. Also I've cried over just a handful in all these years. Mel reminded me of people who have come and gone in my life. I hope this author decides to write another book."

"I received this book as a Christmas gift and I finished it before New Year's Eve! I loved the story line and the way the characters were woven together throughout the book. Such a good read - I've already recommended it to several friends!"

"I loved this book. I haven't laughed that much in years and I read this until 5:00 in the morning for I just couldn't stop reading and I am a 87 year OLD woman."

"My bookclub this past Friday had a discussion about the journey this book took us on!!  As we talked we realized we all had come to the same conclusion. The events-the funny and the sad-all were placed by the author as he led you to the meaning of his book... it is all about hope. I recommend this book as a very special read. Hope continues always..."

"Very few realize Georgia has over one hundred miles of coastline, fourteen barrier islands, and thousands of miles of tidal shoreline. Jeff Pearson's book invites readers to appreciate the beauty of the water while recognizing the many dangers that seemingly await its visitors . . . I found myself captivated to the storyline and could not put the book down. I would give it more than five stars if possible!"

"What a delightful pleasure to come across this great new storyteller with his authentic voice, at once warm, engaging, witty, filled with surprises at every turn and the capacity to hold one's interest. He stares the darkness straight in the face and somehow manages to find the light within . . . Pearson is reminiscent of great Southern writing; let's hope he keeps writing. His voice is real."

"Absolutely wonderful book, I was hooked from the beginning. The characters are superbly written making you feel a real connection to them. I can see myself re-reading this book again and again."
