About the Book
Like an anchor wedged in the lake
floor, Grace Stone's heart is submerged in the past. Drowning in guilt over the
role she played in her father's and sister's deaths, Grace prays that launching
her water survival program at Camp Moshe will properly honor their memory and
enable her to move on. But success depends on Grace risking everything on the
man hired to rebrand the Christian camp. Kye Campton's usual confidence wavers
when his extreme sports campaign lands him in hot water with the cautious
instructor and it becomes increasingly evident that Camp Moshe's fight for
survival is against more than a declining economy. Will Kye be able to save the
camp—and Grace—from a saboteur determined to close the camp at any cost?
My Review
Set in northern Ontario, this
Canadian adventure has multiple tugs in the reader’s heartstrings. A week at
camp so kids can learn how to spread wings and make new friends should definitely
be on every family’s agenda. With Camp Moshe’s model of discounting fees to
make it affordable for almost anyone, it should be possible…but even generosity
has its limits. When the camp begins a pattern of operating in the red, the
board of directors demands a change or they’ll accept one of several offers to
buy up their precious lake property for development. In comes Malachi, Kye for
short, Compton, boy wonder fix-it man with a reputation for turning around
sagging businesses. His idea to upgrade the camp offerings with riskier
activities seems to be working with better enrollment and a great staff experienced
in rock climbing and trail biking. Except for the water sports director. Grace
has some bugaboo about safety and caution, and when things start to unravel at
camp, doesn’t hesitate to nag with “I told you so.”
The threats and “accidents” get
personal. Both Kye and Grace have their futures resting on a positive program
at the camp—Grace with a national program to promote water activity safety, and
Kye to keep up his reputation as a genius businessman. Between a dangerous
bear, malfunctioning equipment, booby-traps and fire, not to mention
astronomical insurance, everyone, especially the kids, will lose if they have
to close the camp. Everyone but the mastermind behind the sabotage, that is.
The race is on to save camp, and for Kye and Grace to discover what’s truly
important in life: their individual goals and their mutual attraction.
Alternating points of view between
Kye and Grace tell their story, inner desires, and mutual goals in this
charming story. Readers will be transported to their own days of experience at
summer camp, or at least get a fun twist on summer romance—meddling moms and
all. Lots of fun.
