During my seaside honeymoon with Nanette, fifteen years ago this May, it struck me that the vast ocean is a symbol of all I hoped my marriage and indeed my life could be. Ever-changing, yet at the deepest level constant, marriage should be a challenge and a consolation, a source of strength and a wellspring of personal renewal. A New Day Dawning , first in my Romance of the Sea Collection, celebrates the many exciting "new days" that keep each of our lives vibrant and exciting - whether we are young or old, married or single. The distant ship voyaging out to sea brings to mind the wondrous adventure that each new day brings, and the dawn light that breaks over the surging sea recalls Paul's thrilling affirmation of Romans 13:12 "The night is far gone, the day is at hand."
