Product Description

Ten-year-old A.J. Degulio is having the best summer vacation of her life in Indian Lake, Idaho, in the lazy summer of 1968. She spends her time at the lake, hanging out with her dog Sailor, playing and fighting with her siblings, and ignoring her Roman Catholic Italian heritage in favor of a southern accent, which is picked up from watching too many Western movies. She meets Danny Morgan, a boy who shares her passions for star gazing and wondering about the god who made them, and life seems just about perfect. But when Danny's father betrays his mother, his family's slow crumbling could affect A.J.'s perception of life and peace of mind as well. Renee Riva, softcover, 223 pages.

Publisher's Description

The year is 1968. After spending the first half of summer vacation driving her Italian family crazy with her fake southern accent, 10-year old A.J. finds a soul mate on the other side of the island to divert her attention.

She is intrigued to learn that Danny shares her same burning desire to know God and realizes that few people her age think as deeply as the two of them do. However, the depth of their newfound faith and friendship is soon tested when Danny's father betrays his wife.

Set in a simpler time, Saving Sailor is a heartwarming tale of how hearts can change and relationships can be restored with God's help.

great read Delightful read. True to life and well-developed characters that keeps one interested. September 3, 2012

Excellent book for all ages. THought this might be for younger girls but I had so much fun reading it and immediately bought the other two in the series. She was a wonderful sense of humor in her writing and it actually took me back to my childhood. I laughed and cried and rejoyced. Excellent August 23, 2011

I want to spend the summer with this family! I was very pleasantly surprised. The family dynamics were hilarious and witty. There was more to the story line and characters then I had hoped. I quickly wanted to be A.J.'s best friend. I wish I could spend a summer with this family. March 1, 2011
