Reaching Above the Water

A story of love and renewal... A man aimlessly wandered down a long isolated beach on a Caribbean island most have never heard of. It's what attracted him to this little, out of the way island in the first place. He thought sure Nevis Island was a place he could run away from life's heartaches, from a past he was desperately trying to escape. He wasn't running because he was a thief or murderer or any other sort of criminal element, but he had what nearly every human being in this world toiled after, wealth. Although his wealth never created happiness, it gave him the ability to run away and hide, and he took advantage of every opportunity. Now, he walked along Lover's Beach licking his inner wounds, as he tried to hide from the life he created and rest of the world. But his destiny was not to remain in seclusion and live a life of isolation. A young Asian woman, who had just graduated college, stood before her peers and gave a speech to her fellow graduates. Although she was the class valedictorian, little did she know her life was about to take an unexpected 180 degree turn.
