Can True Love overcome anything? Even Death? Emily-Elizabeth Seawatcher's summer of '68 was supposed to be filled with sun, laughter, and backyard adventure. But she never expected it to include a boy with mystery in his eyes and whose inexplicable abilities blur the lines between fantasy and reality. As she and Danny Corsair set sail aboard the scarlet-sailed pirate ship his father built in the backyard, she discovers a world where animals whisper secrets, dreams connect minds, and intuition becomes prophecy. Meanwhile, across the sea, a dark menace awakens, driven by twisted desires and deadly secrets… When fate threatens to tear the teens apart and storm clouds gather beyond the horizon, Danny forges an impossible covenant that will echo across oceans and time. And when tragedy strikes, he will face unimaginable loss as he struggles to confront the true power of his vow. From sun-drenched California to the hope of Scotland’s rugged coasts, Danny’s quest becomes a haunting coming-of-age tale of courage, vulnerability, and a test of young love’s endurance in the face of grief. In a world where joy and sorrow intertwine, can Danny’s unwavering devotion and awakening gifts fulfill a promise that dares to defy the boundary between life and death? 'One True Love’ is the first installment of the ‘Scarlet Sails’ series, a poignant tale of young romance, loss, and the resilience of the human spirit. “I’m bawling as I narrate some of this! Danny! What a sweet hero. Heartbreaking! It’s such a tender account of boyhood and vulnerability and loss. Reminds me of Stand By Me. I don’t always get to work on good writing ... this time it nearly killed me.” —Mary Jane Wells, Audiobook Narrator. Set against the backdrop of the deceptively peaceful 1960s, this young adult journey explores the transformative power of first love and the depths of a boy’s commitment to his soulmate. Begin the journey that narrator, Mary Jane Wells, calls “clear, elegant, and beautiful.”
