Pablo is homesick. He’s only twelve years old, but he’s lived in more countries than he can count. After his parents divorced, he and his mother have moved from place to place for years, never settling anywhere long enough to call it home. And along the way, Pablo has collected more and more fears: of dirt, of germs, and most of all, of the ocean. Now they’re living in the Philippines, and his mother, a zoologist who works at a local wildlife refuge, is too busy saving animals to notice that Pablo might need saving, too. Then his mother takes in Chiqui, an orphaned girl with a cleft lip—and Pablo finds that through being strong for Chiqui, his own fears don’t seem so scary. He might even find the courage to face his biggest fear of all...and learn how to make friends with the sea.

Unbeknownst to the elders who plot this agenda, their logical solution to a problem gave way to a more serious repercussion in the future of the young lives that are affected by their past decisions. It will be in Tala’s hands to decide whether to continue being tied up in a marriage that she was too young to consent to or claim the freedom that she deserves by breaking her heart into two.

Destiny can be playful though, challenging Tala’s principles every step of the way. From an innocent child to a lovely woman, she must rely on her mother’s love and faith to empower herself in making the right choice. Will she be with Bayani who is only obligated by blood to love her, Limuel whose obligation to love her came from a piece of paper, Nimuel, who claimed that, “Being around you is a torture to me!” Or Rhailey, a real prince looking for a princess to marry?
