To Dance with Dolphins — Bonnie Leon

From best-selling historical author Bonnie Leon comes her first contemporary, To Dance with Dolphins. Earning a 4 1/2-star review and Top Pick from Romantic Times, the novel reminds readers "that God's plans make it possible to cope with daily battles and still live life to the fullest."

Twenty-two-year-old Claire Murray has suffered from a mysterious disease for years. Her social circle has shrunk to a small support group for people with chronic illness and disability. But what if life could be about more than doctors, pain, and medications?

Claire and three others--old grouch Tom, hippy-holdout Willow, and moody Taylor--hatch plans for a cross-country trip to swim with the dolphins in Florida. Only a day into the trip, they unexpectedly need help. And who happens to be hitchhiking along the highway but a young, good-looking loner named Sean Sullivan? However, the last thing he wants is to be harnessed to a bunch of ailing travelers.

Though the journey proves difficult, following God's plan might be even harder. Will they find the courage to follow their dreams and dare to live again?
