On the inside, she's extremely stubborn, emotionally closed, and terrified of water.

And when treatment begins in Florida, things go mysteriously awry and she finds herself at the bottom of the ocean in a hidden community. Logic tells her she needs to go home. Back to normal. Away from her greatest fear. But none of her analytical abilities help. Instead, she's drawn deeper and deeper to the warm, loving people, their ancient rituals, and their belief that the ocean is their companion, their ally, their salvation. The longer Rigel stays, the more accepting she becomes, and the more attracted she is to a mysterious starry-eyed young man. And as her emotional barriers lower, a buried secret begins to emerge, one that will change the course of her life. Hebrew and sacred geometry take the reader on a mystical adventure in this underwater fantasy. Dive into this heartwarming romantic story of learning to trust and forgiving the past to find a new and exciting future.
