Over the Waters

By: Deborah Raney

Narrated by: Julie Lancelot

“Dr. Botox” to the bored rich women of Chicago, plastic surgeon Max Jordan is shocked by his son Joshua’s decision to focus his medical degree and talent on Haitian orphans. Embittered by Joshua’s sudden death, Max searches for resolution in the place his son called home - an orphanage outside of Port au Prince.

The selflessness of Joshua’s coworkers stuns Max. He is particularly taken with American volunteer Valerie Austin, whose dream of a tropical honeymoon has been crushed, replaced by a stint working in the impoverished orphanage. But Valerie’s view of Joshua’s sacrifice - and her own - challenges everything Max knows. Have the doors to his gilded cage finally opened to a freedom he’s never known?

Over the Waters

Heartwarming story of faith, charity and the love brings. It is worth the read and contemplation.

Predictable

It was a fine story. Nothing exciting. I liked hearing about Haiti, but not sure why it needed a prolonged romance in here. I don’t feel it added to the story, and I’m not sure what the author’s obsession with May December relationships was about.
