more ABOUT THE RUBY FLOAT
When a tiny red glass ball washes ashore at midnight, two children discover a message that will change everything.
Nate and Samantha are living under a shadow. Their beloved grandmother is dying, and their grandfather, once the most joyful man they know, has been swallowed by grief. Nothing the children do seems to help.
Then, on a moonlit beach, Samantha spots something glimmering in the waves: a small, ruby-red float, perfectly sealed, with a mysterious note hidden inside. The words it contains are unlike anything either of them has ever read, a promise so extraordinary it seems impossible to believe.
But what if it's true?
Determined to find the person who sent the float, Nate and Samantha secretly build a raft and set sail across the open ocean toward a tiny, uncharted island. What waits for them there will test their courage, challenge everything they think they know, and carry them through storms, shipwrecks, and wonders they never could have imagined.
The Ruby Float is an unforgettable tale of adventure, faith, and the kind of hope that even death cannot extinguish
