A rollicking ride!

Cheryl Bartlam Dubois uses her own experience as a charter captain in the Caribbean to spin a sensational seafaring yarn that chronicles a journey through stormy seas of self-realization, relationships and higher planes of existence. But just when you think you might be in danger of drowning in nautical terms and maybe too much universal law, she slaps you upside the head like a rogue wave with some side-splitting comedy that will have you howling out loud. This is an enlightening and entertaining read that reaffirms the truth that paradise is not a place but a state of mind. With the right casting and direction, this tale would make a wonderful movie.
