Book Description

Publication Date: September 16, 2002

A funny-but-touching tale about everything that can go wrong...and what makes it all right!

Tess Nelson is poised to take a well-deserved step up the corporate ladder when it's yanked out from under her. With no job and nothing to fill her days--just a nonrefundable ticket for a trip to Hawaii--Tess decides a tropical vacation is just what she needs. But Tess's journey to paradise is a disaster from the beginning. A sprained ankle at the airport is just the beginning. Then there's the lost contact lens and the lost luggage, the lightning storm at a luau, and the hotel fire. Not to mention the approaching hurricane. And the attractive, annoying young man who keeps crossing her path--and really shaking her up. All Tess wants to do is get her life back under control. But God, it seems, has something else in mind--like opening her heart to everything her life could be.

I didn't expect much from this book from the reviews, but once I sat down with it I finished it in one day! I wish I had my own copy, I had my library chase this one down outside the state! I'll never forget this book and may purchase my own copy. The adventures of Tess and Carter in Hawaii are tops on my list of reader interest! Great book!

Not to be rude, but I just don't understand how the majority of you did not like this book! I thought it was very cute and sweet. Of course I knew when I started it that it was a light read, but knowing that, I thought it was a very good, well-written novel. It is about a young woman who has a rough couple of weeks starting with her losing her job. She goes to Hawaii on a vacation, and things continue to go downhill, but through all of this she gains several friends and a good life lesson. Despite the other reviews of this book, I do recommend this novel!
