Parable of the Sower by Octavia E Butler

Move Like Water: My Story of the Sea by Hannah Stowe

As a young girl, Hannah Stowe was raised at the tide's edge on the Pembrokeshire coast of Wales, falling asleep to the sweep of the lighthouse beam. Now in her mid-twenties, working as a marine biologist and sailor, Stowe draws on her professional experiences sailing tens of thousands of miles in the North Sea, North Atlantic, Mediterranean, Celtic Sea, and the Caribbean to explore the human relationship with wild waters.

Spiritually beautiful with great illustrations.  – AH     5 stars
