Second chance loves, grief, sailing, and new discoveries come together in this romantic and beautiful story about what happens on the journey of dealing with the grief of losing a loved one and trying to move on. It has been one year and Anna is still reeling from the loss of her fiancee Ben, who had committed suicide and left her asking herself what she could have done and how she is suppose to continue on if she is left in this state of grief and pain. Ben and Anna had planned on going on a world sailing voyage together, and after losing Ben, Anna decides it’s time to go on the sailing voyage they had originally planned to go on together by herself. However, after a dangerous night of sailing, Anna realizes she’s going to need help completing her journey and hires Keane, a professional sailor who offers to help for free as long as they arrive at the destination. Keane is struggling with loss, though a different loss than Anna’s. He has lost a leg due to a horrible accident and is now sailing the sea. Anna and Keane begin to find that they understand one another and each other’s losses, and a sweet friendship and romance ensues about two people who are discovering something new together.

This was a really great book that deals with how moving on is extremely difficult and the grief we feel after losing a loved one takes time to heal. Sometimes it takes trying new things, meeting new people, crying, or going on an impulsive sailing journey and quitting your job, but healing takes time and learning to give things a second chance is important. It’s a sweet story about not only opening yourself up again after grieving, but about healing yourself and finding acceptance.
