Join Caroline as she embarks on a journey of self-discovery, hard truths, friendships, and love, guided by the advice and wisdom of her late mother. Will it be enough to save her? "DeCosta uses language in a beautiful way, painting with words." ~ Martha Reynolds, award winning, 2x bestselling Amazon author of The Swiss Chocolate Series, Bits of Broken Glass, April in Galway, The Jingle Valley Series, A Winding Stream, The way to Remember, Villa del Sol, and Summer of Princess Diana "This book touched my heart in so many ways. Just delightful." ~ P.K. Norton, author of the Amy Lynch Investagation Series "DeCosta has a gift for illustrating her characters' introspection, of potraying long established and developing relationships, as well as describing place." ~ Connie Ross Ciampanelli, author of Journey to 10K: Adventures of an Older Novice Runner, and Bart the Mysterious: A True Story "The beating heart of this story is its main character. Caroline leaps off the pages within the first few paragraphs, and you already get a sense of who she is and what she's going through. She is an emotive character: readers will love her or hate her, but they will certainly keep reading on to find out more about her. The writing style was easy and fluid, with a sharp sense of humor. Treading Water is a light, easy read that has enough substance to elevate it from the usual, run-of-the-mill beach read fares." ~ The Book Review Directory, bookreviewdirectory.com
