Praise for Chasing the Blue Boat I loved this book so much that I read it within a small window of time. The descriptions blew me away by bringing every detail to life. The author, gifted in storytelling, has created a tale with characters who will keep you wiping tears in one chapter and cheering their courage in another. Linda Metcalf PhD, TEDx Speaker, Texas Wesleyan University Professor, and author of ten books on solution focused therapy Connie Kallback put her compassion and skills to work in writing Chasing the Blue Boat to tap into emotions ranging from grief to love. A faith-centered novel, it is a rich nugget of literary enjoyment with authentic characters, symbolism, and foreshadowing well worth your time. George Watson Author of three Prentice Hall books for teachers, author with his wife Kathy of Positive and Courageous: 100 Daily Pillars for a Man's Soul and Authentic and Courageous: 100 Daily Boosts for a Woman's Soul, and Share a Prayer, a weekly devotional blog Chasing the Blue Boat wastes no time in pulling you into the story's vortex using people, places, and events that stir your emotions. In this way, Connie's novel grabs you early, makes you care, then leads you down a path you can't wait to take. From tragedy to triumph, this story told through the eyes of a young girl, is a classic in the making. Jerry Vallotton Author of The Toss: A New Offensive Attack for High-Scoring Football, serves in Little Country Church, Redding, California, as elder, youth leader, and on-loan speaker/preacher
