WHY THIS BOOK IS IMPORTANT RIGHT NOW

This book is about people: Labels such as White, Black, Hispanic, Jamaican, English, Greek, Indian, Gay, Straight, Religious, Non-religious, Male, and Female—are all identifiers that detract from the fundamental premise that people are people who need love and experience suffering.

This multifaceted love story transcends niche categories and deserves mainstream exposure to showcase the normalcy of diverse lives. Its romantic relationships propel this book's emotional journey to incredible heights.

The story follows characters as they go through life's different stages. Despite a tragic beginning and end, the narrative features initial joy, rising tension, and a pivotal life alteration.

And then, of course, there's the fun factor. The story unfolds on the sun-drenched beaches of West Florida, where characters revel in the warmth and paradise-like atmosphere. Characters play music, run, attempt surfing, fly kites, walk, and sun-worship on the beach.

Readers can live vicariously in Florida through the visual imagery portrayed throughout the book.
Be brave. Give this book a look.

Meet The Author

Nikki Ott is a writer living near the West Florida Beaches. She arrived in paradise from the cold and overcast Philadelphia area in her early twenties and continues to find wonder in waving palm trees.
Her passion for writing started in her early teens as a lyricist. She was the first and only "girl drummer" in her high school marching band. She majored in music (percussion) and theater, and she was the only female drummer during her two-year tenure at college.
As a drummer and songwriter, she played in many bands in her twenties and thirties. She infuses her writing with her profound and natural love of music.
Feeling the need for a more direct path to helping people, she shifted from songwriting to the structured framework of Life Coaching. She became a Certified Life Coach through the (Tony) Robbins and (Cloe) Madanes Training course for Coaches in 2013. She embarked on a career as a Life Coach with the drive and desire to share how people can live healthy, vibrant lives. The contents of this book are a living example of fictionalized life lessons. However, it is her next step in the journey to expose interpersonal suffering, leading to healing and understanding.
