Summary

Captain Demi is young, smart, and beautiful, but she is also stubborn and selfish. She comes from four generations of tuna fishermen. She is the youngest captain and the only female to have taken over the family business.New laws governing tuna fishing with nets is making business difficult for her. Her family has been net fishing for generations, why should things have to change now? Demi doesn't care if net fishing drowns dolphins; they are not how she makes her living.Demi and her crew are anxious to finish their run and head home. They need a big catch and the quickest way to do that is with the illegal nets. Convinced it is okay to do as long as no one is around to catch her, Demi prepares to drop the nets on a school of tuna. She knows some dolphin will get caught as well and drown, but all she cares about is making money.Demi is unaware that one of her crew is also a spy for the police, and he is watching her every move in order to catch her in the act of using illegal nets. An accident occurs that puts Demi's life in peril. What happens next is magical, and becomes life changing for her.

Excerpts

Demi, captain of Sea Savey, was at the helm navigating the waters and looking for dolphins. She had been a captain for 5 years, taking over her dad's job when he retired. She came from a long line of tuna fisherman, 4 generations! Captain Demi resented the new laws prohibiting net fishing. Her family had hunted tuna with nets just fine for years; so what if a few silly dolphins got tangled in the nets and died too! As far as she was concerned, she could use nets to hunt as long as no one was around to catch her.
