As evening approaches, a strange man appears, urging her to go with him and explaining that he’s come at the request of her grandmother to take her to safety. He introduces himself as Zeph, and she recognizes his voice as the one she heard the night before in the kitchen. Still hesitant, however, Myla tries to get more information, but she’s out of time, for there are 2 cars arriving whose occupants seem to be bent on kidnapping her! Hoping to get answers to all her questions, she agrees to accompany Zeph, racing up the mountain in a jeep with the kidnappers close behind. What happens when they arrive at the Stone Ship makes her certain that from here on in, there will be no going back.

Do you remember when life could be magical? Do you remember first love? This is a story of a sweet 17-year old girl embarking on adventure and finding love at so many levels. I loved letting go and being take back to a time and place when magic and romance were possible. Enjoy this clever, romantic adventure!
