Becoming the Ocean

About this book

A 10,000-mile voyage to save a marriage. A secret that could destroy it.In her early thirties, running from a mistake she desperately wants to keep secret, Erin sets sail with her husband, Brian, on a 10,000-mile voyage across the Pacific. What begins as an attempt to salvage her relationship quickly becomes a reckoning. On the open ocean, there is nowhere left to hide.Far from shore, Erin is forced to confront a painful truth: saving her marriage might mean losing herself.Juxtaposing the awe-inspiring, boundless beauty of the open ocean with the claustrophobic, high-stakes tension of a fracturing marriage, Becoming the Ocean is a courageous and unflinchingly honest portrayal of a woman confronting the ways she has performed goodness, chosen safety over truth, and stayed too long in a life that no longer felt like her own.For readers of Cheryl Strayed's Wild and Belle Burden's Strangers, this book is for anyone who has built a life based on who they think they should be, and is ready to start becoming who they really are.
