Wherever the wind takes us A novel

Kelly Harms

Book - 2022

"When life stops making sense, it's time to raise the anchor and follow the tide. Twenty-two years of marriage, and all Becca Larkin's divorce settlement includes is a live-aboard sailboat and a huge helping of heartache. Enter Grant Murphy, a stunning Irish sailing coach that Liv can barely stand--and Becca can't seem to resist. Grant's too young for Becca, but he's insightful and kind, and his passion for sailing is contagious. Through his eyes, Becca sees for the first time in years a future she might want to navigate toward. There are seventeen hundred miles between Maine and Miami, but the journey Becca's on can't be charted on any map. And the only way to get there is to hoist the sails and thro...w caution to the wind. From the bestselling author of The Overdue Life of Amy Byler comes a sparkling novel about mothers and daughters, change and escape, and learning to love again." -- Jacket flap.

Review by Booklist Review

Rebecca Ann Larkin expected her divorce to be contentious: her ex, Alistair, comes from a family of lawyers. She did not expect to end up with their sailboat, the Becky Ann, which she quickly decides to sell. When a buyer surfaces in Miami, Becca has the bright idea to sail down the East Coast with her daughter, Liv, as one last hurrah to deliver the boat. But no number of YouTube videos could have prepared the women for the realities of long-distance sailing, and as they learn to do without the comfort and stability of life on land, they end up learning even more about themselves. Harms (The Seven-Day Switch, 2021) takes the Eat, Pray, Love concept to the high seas, plucking Becca from her privileged yet painful life as a wealthy married woman and leaving her to navigate a windswept, rain-soaked sailboat. Fans of Marian Keyes, Nicola Yoon, and Karen Raney will appreciate the evolving mother-daughter relationship, while a surprising source of romance adds intrigue to this journey of self-discovery, self-reliance, and perseverance.
