{"product_id":"cruising-with-strangers-marsha-spink-9781038332554","title":"Cruising with Strangers","description":"After her travel partner is sidelined Marlene embarks on a cruise of the Hawaiian Islands, alone. An anxious, introverted widow, she has reservations about the solo trip but meets a number of interesting shipmates and soon finds herself embroiled in the lives of some, with issues including gender dysphoria, spousal abuse, terminal illness, depression, and midlife-romance. She and her dinner mates share their lives, their excursions, and concerns for each other, particularly when the ship stops in the middle of the night to search for a suspected overboard guest. Although memories of previous trips to Hawaii with her husband are often clouded with sadness, Marlene disembarks the cruise with a new confidence and new friendships.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Marsha Spink\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1038332559\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781038332554\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e FriesenPress\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/19\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 198\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.60lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.45d","brand":"Marsha Spink","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48443085127935,"sku":"9781038332554","price":16.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_82acaf75-5e01-4e24-b874-706afef801fb.jpg?v=1777201754","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/cruising-with-strangers-marsha-spink-9781038332554","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
