Thank you for your quick reply. This is not the book I am looking for. The one I remember was a novel. I pick it up at my local library but did not have time to read it. There was a small boat on the cover.

This is not a comment but a request. I really enjoy reading your blog. Your reviews are so lively and descriptive.

I would really appreciate you help.
