It's Nicholas Sparks meets Holes

"This review was provided to the author by Daniel Pouesi, Author of Akua: A Samoan Novel, who read an early draft. "It's a well-crafted, fast-paced, high-tension story that grabs you from the very beginning. If you're not an outrigger fan, Black and Blue Horizons will make you a happy convert. It's a beautiful story with a beautiful and uplifting message. The entire time I read it, I felt as if I was back home, paddling alongside the characters fully immersed in their personal struggle. It's that involved and captivating of a read. Get a digital copy now and be prepared for a "seafaring" adventure. You won't be disappointed!""

Black and Blue Horizons

"A 17-year-old troubled loner with anger issues is sent to a camp in American Samoa for 12 months by his concerned parents. Here amid humiliation and torture, he finds previously unknown skills and talents, friendships and the support of a man who teaches him humility and Samoan Culture and introduces him to the sport of outrigger canoe racing. This is an excellent novel for teens upward, lovers of sport and those who enjoy self-discovery. Highly recommended 👍🤩"
