You will see the world through their eyes as they struggle to find meaning, love and life. Readers uniformly agree on the THE DIVE'S intensely personal realism and overriding sense of authenticity.
A strong narrative storyline seamlessly blends elements of intrigue, high tension and romantic suspense.
