Tears of Dark Water | Corban Addison
5 posts | 3 read | 6 to read
Daniel and Vanessa Parker are an American success story. He is a Washington, DC, power broker, and she is a physician with a thriving practice. But behind the gilded facade, their marriage is a shambles, and their teenage son, Quentin, is self-destructing. In desperation, Daniel dusts off a long-delayed dream a sailing trip around the world. Little does he know, the voyage he hopes will save them may destroy them instead. Half a world away on the lawless coast of Somalia, Ismail Adan Ibrahim is living a life of crime in violation of everything he was raised to believe except for the love and loyalty driving him to hijack ships for ransom and plot the rescue of his sister, Yasmin, from the man who murdered their father. There is nothing he will not do to save her, even if it means taking innocent lives. Paul Derrick is the FBI s top hostage negotiator. His twin sister, Megan, is a celebrated defense attorney. They have reached the summit of their careers by savvy, grit, and a secret determination to escape the memory of the day their family died. When Paul is dispatched to handle a hostage crisis at sea, he has no idea how far it will take him and Megan into the past or the chance it will give them to redeem the future. Across continents and oceans, through storms and civil wars, the paths of these individuals converge in a single, explosive moment. It is a moment that will test them and break them, but it will also leave behind an unexpected glimmer of hope that out of the ashes of tragedy and misfortune, the seeds of justice and reconciliation can grow."

This book perfectly shows the importance of hearing both sides of a story. The book is about a father and son taken by pirates off the coast of Somalia. Not only do you get the perspective of the hostage but of the hostage taker and other people who are affected by the actions. This is a book of survival, one that shows that there aren't really villains, just victims doing their best to protect their families.

A gripping tale of modern day piracy that digs into the depths of humanity. Shares how human emotion connects us across countries and culture and how past traumas shape our present day reality. The joys and heartache that come with family and loving relationships. It took me a while to get into this book, but once I caught the flow I was completely hooked!
