Book Description

Publication Date: May 20, 2010

With an abundance of hesitation Dane, a man of thirty wrestling with his own fears and self-confidence, abruptly walks out of his job and a life set in stone to join his friend Cosmo on a journey down into the heart of the Baja Peninsula. J.P., Cosmo's uncle who mirrored as a substitute father to Cosmo, recently passed away and Cosmo wants to send his ashes out to sea at J.P.'s favorite place in the world, an isolated fishing village three quarters of the way down the Peninsula. Dane is engaged to a woman he loves, but has somehow lost the luster in his day to day life. His job, his routines, his lack of ambition weigh heavily on his chest. During the trip Dane looks to rediscover his dreams, his desires, and tackle his fears while re-learning to live in the moment under the the philosophies of his eccentric friend Cosmo. Surf sessions, travel adventures, personal tragedy and triumph, self-searching, and release of the spirit, the two friends help each other get through difficult times in their lives while meeting up with interesting characters and adventures that only a trip into Baja can deliver.

Great read for all reading abilities. Characters are all well developed and the story line keeps the pages turning with ease. Author brings to light life questions that we have all asked at one point or another. Author stays true to the characters personalities and does not compromise by taking the easy/cheap route. Story line makes you want to pick up your things and take that trip to find yourself. Great book for anyone looking for a summer read or in need of some soul searching. Highly recommended from this reader.
