About "Blue Freedom": Bella Whitman is a freelance health and fitness writer with a tragic history. When she is offered a dream opportunity to undertake a series which will necessitate an explorative journey across the South Pacific islands, she grabs it, despite her misgivings about the arrogant but handsome editor in charge of the magazine, Ethan Gray.

She is immediately charmed by a man she meets on the first day of her travels, Jay Hinckley, who becomes her constant companion - but can this relationship develop into more than friendship, when he already has a woman in his life, and Bella is inexplicably being trailed by a dangerous hitman for a drug consortium, who wants Jay dead? And what is Ethan's role in this shadowy game - does he want Bella for himself, or does he want her dead, too?

Through this thrilling adventure, Bella comes to appreciate Jay's relationship with Christ - and as she herself comes to know God, her own healing process begins.
