Against a backdrop of events based on actual Coast Guard operations, Caribé, a captivating Dominican woman desperately searching for a better life, meets Caleb, a daring Coast Guard officer. Their ensuing relationship forever transforms their lives but has tragic consequences. An enthralling adventure and romance novel, A Place for You also provides valuable insight into immigration and human smuggling. Out of sight, but not far from the shores of the United States, thousands of people risk their lives and many perish in near-impossible, treacherous quests to find a better place to live. A Place for You reveals the plight of people from the Dominican Republic, Cuba, and Haiti who risk everything on the high seas each year in search of better lives. It also sheds light on the heroic deeds of the men and women of the United States Coast Guard who courageously rescue and compassionately care for them.
