Tina Dreffin, in her book, has placed an emphasis on the need for family travel aside from the fun one derives from it. This has a huge impact on keeping the love a family shares burning.

In this book, we read about the amazing story of Tina and her family's adventure to South Africa. In the novel 'BlueWater WalkAbout', Tina sets out to explore the world beyond that in which she lives; in her words, I want my sons to engage in life from outside themselves by experiencing the world. Tina seeks to journey with her husband and children on a path of self-recovery through adventurous travel, sailing from Johannesburg to South Africa on a South Pacific expedition. This expedition has a lot of mind-blowing encounters. Obviously, I don't need to go on and on to narrate the rich cultural heritage of South Africa; this book did justice to that, and I am sure that you would also want to know how Tina's recovery journey went. Grab a copy to find out. 

Well, reading about this adventure was really a good experience. Aside from the fun of the adventure, I liked the fact that Tina was able to strengthen readers who have experienced the journey of motherhood. I saw this book as a journey of healing from the ugly side of motherhood. And I really enjoyed how nature was kind to her in that she was able to appreciate nature and, in the process, see the need to let go of her ugly life experience. I love the narrative style of the author's writing in this book and also the use of quotes at the beginning of each chapter. I didn't notice any grammatical errors, and I can say it was the result of exceptional editing. 

Tina's ability to draw her family into her adventurous ways is not really advisable, and at the same time, it seemed insensitive to me. But I admire Tina's determination to take risks, to venture beyond, and to make bold decisions despite the challenges she met on their sail through the Pacific. 

This book is highly recommended for people who want to go on a journey of self-discovery and taste limits. A very captivating book, I must say, that lives in a wild imagination you won't want to miss. At the end of this beautiful read, I can say that this book deserves a five out of five star rating due to all that has been said above.
