Description

Years after growing up as an adventurous and daring child, and then raising several herself, the author finds herself without purpose when her children grow up and leave home. After painful introspection, with close friends by her side, she embarks on life-changing exploits. With vivid detail she recounts learning to scuba dive in middle age, hair-raising encounters with man-eating sharks, the loss of a soul sister, and the most powerful hurricane in Bahamian history. These experiences cause the author to reconnect to the forgotten essence of who she once was and ultimately, to weave these lost parts into a new, more authentic version of herself. As the title suggests, she “resurfaces” into her own life. This true story of painful transitions and victories will resonate with readers seeking self-transformation.
