Beyond the Sea: Annie’s Journey into the Extraordinary by Nina Purtee

After a recent tragedy that sends Annie into a cycle of guilt and uncertainty, her grandfather offers her the opportunity to board his lavish sailing vessel for an extraordinary journey. He insists that this is exactly what Annie needs to lift her spirits and provide a renewed sense of direction in her life. So naturally, she relishes her international voyage’s idyllic sights and culture. Annie even finds time for two romantic suitors…a handsome Spanish matador, Ramone, and a seemingly gentle Moroccan man with mesmerizing eyes, El Amir. Annie wonders if she is letting romance distract her from the real reason for her adventure— searching for news of her British diplomat father, who has been missing for two years. With the intrigue building, Annie quickly discovers her intended sea voyage has turned into something else altogether. Relying on her gut instincts, she accepts opportunities to travel all over the globe in hopes of finding answers about her father while gaining a greater understanding of herself.
