Seven at Sea – {Book Showcase}
I received a copy of “Seven at Sea” ($27.99 value) in exchange for this post. Any opinions expressed here are honest and my own.
Ever just wish you could drop everything…pack your bags and take on an adventure of your dreams? That’s exactly what Erik and Emily Orton did, along with their five children. They left their daily lives behind from the busy New York City life and set out on a 5,000-mile voyage from New York to the Caribbean and back for a year at sea on a sailboat. As this all sounds like a perfect adventure…it wasn’t for the Orton family, BUT they were able to pursue dreams on their own terms by going against the grain and making it work.
For the adventure seekers…this is the book for you. Seven at Sea was good clean book that takes you on an adventure of family ups and downs…mostly on a sailboat. It was a quick read that holds a lot of family dynamics and stops at nothing to set goals and get dreams accomplished. Seven at Sea can be purchased at Amazon and Barnes & Nobles.
