Imagine a passionate love story reflecting the world as it is quickly becoming! A blended mix of disparate interests, cultures, backgrounds. This audiobook is dramatically narrated by its author teZa Lord, an artist and spiritual activist, as well as prolific blogger, podcaster, and positive-thought influencer on Twitter/Instagram/YouTube. As the self-called Angel Mom of two young and brokenhearted stepchildren, multi-media artist Lord transforms from a former "She-Pirate" into a selfless caregiver who sees healing as the highest form of creative expression.

Willing to change when she finally meets her match and, after marrying him, inherits his kids, Lord learns that sacrifice is more rewarding than the wild international adventure she was on before. Using the literary metaphor of a "boat" for the family itself, the boat's "crew" for family members, and their "journey" together synonymous to the boat's uncharted voyage down the aptly named, but mythical "Rio Blisso", everything in this intimate recounting took place. All seemingly insurmountable challenges are met with teZa and Will's resolution to heal, not hinder the forward, healthy momentum of every kind of relationship. Villains exists, but not given undue attention. Not only the children need healing from their parents' vicious divorce, plus the steady onslaught suffered from their vindictively angry bio-mom, but all the adults here need comfort and understanding as well.

This saga, actually a spiritual memoir, seems more like a character-driven novel with its fast paced action. Joy, sorrow, anger, acceptance, hate, love - like any other family's experiences - this inspiring story doesn't get stuck in sadness or vengeance. A beautifully resolved story, truly reflecting the evolution of all humankind as everything around us becomes more blended with each passing day. tezalord.com for more
