At the end of the first European expedition, Janice had vowed never to go make another trip. Bobbi wanted to return and the Trio prevails with new narrators, Andy and Charlie. The adventure continues. To understand all of this story, it's a good idea to read at least Book 8 but each storyline stands on its own. As always, it's about the people but the trips are interesting to ponder. There is a reasonable bit of romance but no explicit sex.
For those of you who read the first one, this is the sequel that I threatened would come. It still remains religious in tone. It features more from the daughters though still told from the father's point of view. I hope you enjoy this effort. It just flowed. You might even find some surprises. RG
