New love. Exotic destinations. A once-in-a-lifetime adventure. What
could go wrong?
City girl Torre DeRoche isn't looking for love, but a chance encounter
in a San Francisco bar sparks an instant connection with a soulful
Argentinean man who unexpectedly sweeps her off her feet. The problem?
He's just about to cast the dock lines and voyage around the world on
his small sailboat, and Torre is terrified of deep water. However,
lovesick Torre determines that to keep the man of her dreams, she must
embark on the voyage of her nightmares, so she waves good-bye to dry
land and braces for a life-changing journey that's as exhilarating as it
is terrifying.
This sometimes hilarious, often harrowing, and always poignant memoir is
set against a backdrop of the world's most beautiful and remote
destinations. Equal parts love story and travel memoir, Love with a
Chance of Drowning is witty, charming, and proof positive that there
are some risks worth taking.
"A funny, irresistibly offbeat tale about the risks and rewards of
living, and loving, with an open heart." --Kirkus Reviews
