A NIGHT OWL REVIEWS BOOK REVIEW | Reviewed by: Silvermage
Crossing Oceans is an extremely enjoyable book with great characters, plot and depth.
Jenny never planned on going back to her hometown or to her family, but things change. She is dying and she must return along with her five-year-old daughter…her daughter’s father doesn’t know about Isabella. Is it time for Jenny, the family and the father to finely build some bridges or are the mistakes of the past just too late to be rectified?
What I liked about this story is that Jenny is a strong woman in the face of such a dire time in her life. Plus it pulls on the heartstrings and is quite believable.
If you’re looking for an emotional drawing story then read Crossing Oceans. It’s a story that will stay with you after the last page flip.

Book Blurb for Crossing Oceans
Jenny Lucas swore she’d never go home again. But being told you’re dying has a way of changing things. Years after she left, she and her five-year-old daughter, Isabella, must return to her sleepy North Carolina town to face the ghosts she left behind. They welcome her in the form of her oxygen tank–toting grandmother, her stoic and distant father, and David, Isabella’s dad . . . who doesn’t yet know he has a daughter. As Jenny navigates the rough and unknown waters of her new reality, the unforgettable story that unfolds is a testament to the power of love and its ability to change everything—to heal old hurts, bring new beginnings . . . even overcome the impossible. A stunning debut about love and loss from a talented new voice.
