Crossing Oceans Review
I just finished Gina Holmes’ debut novel Crossing Oceans with blurry eyes… Though I knew what was going to happen, it didn’t stop the emotion when it did. This beautiful story about a mother’s love and her sacrifice for her daughter had me wondering if I would have chosen what she did for the sake of her child. The themes of forgiveness are woven throughout the story and had me wondering if I would be able to forgive those who offended me like they offended the main character. In all, this was a worthwhile, thought provoking read that touched me on many levels.

ABOUT THE BOOK
Jenny Lucas swore she’d never go home again. But being told you’re dying has a way of changing things. Years after she left, she and her five-year-old daughter, Isabella, must return to her sleepy North Carolina town to face the ghosts she left behind. They welcome her in the form of her oxygen tank–toting grandmother, her stoic and distant father, and David, Isabella’s dad . . . who doesn’t yet know he has a daughter. As Jenny navigates the rough and unknown waters of her new reality, the unforgettable story that unfolds is a testament to the power of love and its ability to change everything—to heal old hurts, bring new beginnings . . . even overcome the impossible. A stunning debut about love and loss from a talented new voice.
