Audible listen Amanda Berry, kidnapped at sixteen, is one of the most impressive people whose story I’ve heard, in person or through literature. From the moment of her abduction, her resilience and problem solving skills shone. The little things she did to maintain hope from the beginning of captivity are skills I wish everyone had…
Review from Salt to the Sea →
Fabulous story – sweet, frustrating, hopeful, heartbreaking, shocking, and so well narrated. This is the best book my women’s book club has read in over 2 years. I had no idea this ship existed nor of it’s peril. I Highly recommend this book.

This book is very well written. I want to love it but like Lolita, I’m too creeped out. Towards the end The child seems like she’s going to be saved by science, her first love. In a Disney for pedophiles type fashion, not only is she not aloud to grow (metaphorically and physically) she rides..
Review from Eversea →
it’s really well written and the actors were spot on! The spice was nice and there was enough drama to be eye-rollingly believable. I had a very wide range of emotions with the book. I 10/10 recommend for those whole like a well rounded love story.
