Nineteen-year-old Stella must overcome her fear of horses to save her reputation as a Grove Station Farms riding instructor.

***

Stella does not believe she will return to the saddle, but that doesn't mean she still feels connected with the farm where she teaches. To save her reputation and regain her confidence, she has to get on the farm's newest steed, Monkey.

Monkey, a horse like none other, senses Stella's fear and does everything he can to help her regain her confidence, even though he occasionally acts out and bites. That does not mean he wants to hurt the birthday girl. The greatest gift he can give her is a lesson that changes everything she knows about riding.

While Stella wishes to win her battle, she can't do it alone and fears she'll fall again. Curses will become blessings, but that's after she puts enough work into her goal.

With Monkey's help, Stella needs to open the door to the life she once had, even if it means putting up with her sarcastic student, Maise, and learning that sometimes the best way to overcome fear is to fight fear itself.

A rainy day encourages Teuila's father to take her out on Oceania, but what will happen when their boat flips and they're left stranded in the Atlantic Ocean?

***

Teuila just wanted a peaceful summer break after her first year at the College of Charleston. However, peace in her family never happens with her father's sailing blood. To grow closer to his little girl, he takes her out on the family's Laser, Oceania, on a rainy day that mimics a special one nineteen years earlier.

When Oceania flips and leaves father and daughter stranded in the Atlantic Ocean, they must work together to return to shore without the buff lifeguard girls running out to rescue them. Teuila has to see past her father's sailing personality and find the one she grew up with before she and her parents ran aground in Charleston Harbor.

With the help of the current, love, and just a little imagination, Teuila and her dad's fight for survival becomes nothing more than a mere Disney Channel movie. Not only that, but Teuila learns a secret-the truth behind why she carries such an unusual name.

My life in Indiana....I don't remember most of what was said or most of what happened, so there will be gaps in the story. I'm trying to write the story in order of the way it happened.
