at the end of this post.
Daughters of the Sea is about a love that
transcends time. Before 1769, the Tahitians had
sacrificed a warrior. But two women, native girl, Kura, and contemporary
heroine, Laura, are destined to become the brides of Maui, the shark god, 243
years apart.
The year Captain Cook arrived was the first
recorded sighting of the transit of Venus. Cook was sent from Plymouth, England
to find new lands and document the astrological event by triangulating from
three of the largest islands in Tahiti.
At the transit of Venus in 2012, Laura, a
contemporary French teacher travels to Tahiti to search for her biological
father, the last navigator to read the waves. The girls’ parallel lives clash
in an aura of mysticism. Laura is haunted; Kura is doomed. Laura’s romance
could end in a tragedy similar to her ancestor’s.
Author Bio:
Julie Eberhart Painter, a native of Bucks
County, Pennsylvania, has seven novels in print. Previously, she worked with
nursing homes as a volunteer coordinator and later as a community ombudsman. In
1988, she joined Hospice of Volusia Flagler in Daytona Beach and remained with
them for 17 years. Julie’s volunteer jobs were the beginning of her surrogate
family that she expands upon in her WIP memoir. Daughters of the Sea addresses the question of how adoption
affects Laura who has lived with the lie for 25 years, as told by someone who’s
been there.
Time permitting (Laughter here) Julie’s
hobbies include duplicate bridge, music, dance, reading and world travel. She
reviews books for a prestigious online romance review site, and is a regular columnist
for Cocktails, Fiction and Gossip
Magazine, an online slick. Bewildering Stories has published nine
of her flash fictions tales.
PS: The readers who would enjoy this book
are adventurers and romantics. I was inspired by Nomads of the Sea, a TV program about the Polynesians leaving
Tahiti because of overcrowding and tribal warfare to settle other lands, such
as New Zealand, Hawaii, Easter Island and the Cook Islands, all of which we
have visited.
