"Jumping Ship" by Janice Ross.....
JUMPING SHIP: AN INTRODUCTORY NOVELLA
"The year was nineteen seventy-five. Barren couple, Pearl and Edward Riley stumbled upon a newborn baby girl. Her cries could only be heard by a true mother, which Pearl immediately became. Bundled up with their new child, they discovered a parcel of artifacts and a scribbled note that read: Sakkara. Pregnant seamstress, Petrina Dugal, became a runaway at the age of twenty-six. She ran away from a brutish husband, Roger, and a well-loved South American home in Georgetown, Guyana; at the heart of her rebellion – an enigmatic lover named Michael Chen. Pet and Mikey, as they became affectionately known, allowed love to blossom in front of her police officer husband and an intrusive community. Were they not aware of the dangers? Or did the pursuit of love trump obligations?
Sakkara Riley grew up with two loving parents – adoptive parents to be exact. She never knew the circumstances surrounding her discovery, until the age of sixteen. She embarks on a journey.
Jumping Ship is an introductory novella to the Island Hopping Series. There are 7 planned books - representing each of the islands that Sakkara will visit along the way."
What I liked About "Jumping Ship"....
I found "Jumping Ship" a very good read that once you start it you will find it hard to put down.  I loved how this author was able to pull her readers into the story and more over connect them with the characters.  Also you can tell that this author really loved this country because of all the detailed  description of it all near the Caribbean area as she brings us a good read.  This was a love story with lots of mystery...as we follow a married woman and her lover and since this is a beginning of a series I am sure we will get a lots more.  This is quite a read of a woman's strength in how she had dealt 'with an abusive husband, self awareness and love.'  I will say that that part of the read was not pretty
but then Petrina meets Mikey.  I don't want to give any of it away and spoil it for you...Just pick up this amazing read to see for yourself how this author brings it all so well to the readers.    There seems to be three parts to this story where you will see it all told with  such a intriguing captivating way as the story  unfolds.  If you are looking for a good romance novel you have come to the right place for "Jumping Ship" will give  you in a well written heart warming love story that start this series.
