This book provoked a lot of discussion about various relationships including mother-daughter relationships, friendships, and sibling relationships. Love and loss were well-represented among the various characters in this book. Information about loggerhead turtles only enhanced the book reading. This is a truly beautiful book recommended by every member of our book reading club.

A slower paced life where the important things in life are truly revealed; God's blessings, friends, family, the vast sea, time with your own thoughts, and nature. I have to admit, the first 1/3 of this book was a little slow for me. However, it picked up and I became transported to this small isle with a sense of peace and gladness. I really learned a lot about the Loggerhead Turtles and the sense of purpose it gave these women. Great summer read! PS. Can't wait to get a hammock!
