Adrift in a lifeboat with strangers, each holding a deep secret…
Leah Taylor prefers the quiet adventure and romance of books, but during a cruise with her parents, a terrorist attack leaves her adrift in a lifeboat with strangers.
Together they face danger after danger as they fight for survival. Leah also struggles with the growing attention from the guys she's stranded with, and her mixed emotions toward them.
When Leah learns the dark secrets her fellow survivors hold, the truth will blow apart any semblance of civility and test Leah’s preconceived notions of just how far dedication can go before it crosses over into fanaticism.
Excerpt
I tended to fall in love with characters in books. Most guys I went to school with were far too interested in sports or video games.

Once Upon A YA Book
"The author addresses prejudice, abuse, and relationships with men in a way that makes it easy for the target audience to relate to... (The main character's) courage and spirit are uplifting. This is a beautiful story and is well written. As a teacher of middle grade students, I would encourage teenage girls to read this adventure."
A Little Something to Chew On
"Deep Green held my attention from the moment I began reading...

In a calm voice; "Sara hush, you died.
