About the book
Did you ever believe something just because someone you loved told you it was true and would you still believe it if that someone vanished from your life?
Olivia was a young child when her dad first told her they were going to search for a special shell on the beach in Cape May, New Jersey; a shell he referred to as the Magic Conch. Olivia may have been disappointed as they walked from the beach with an empty bucket in tow year after year, but she never stopped believing.
Jack Hudson, super-dad and marine biologist gets his federal grant to work on his project in the Caribbean; unfortunately, he will be there on Olivia’s eleventh birthday, the very first day of their annual search. The day he promised her last year, would be their lucky day.
While at sea, a freakish mishap results in Jack falling overboard. When Olivia learns he cannot be found, the day that was supposed to be lucky, turns out to be the worst day of her life.
As time passes Olivia finds solace in her memories of their quest to find the elusive shell and that awakens in her a keen interest in her dad’s teachings. When she decides to resume the search, she is totally unaware of the mystical adventure that is about to unfold… one year to the day of her dad’s disappearance.
