Uncharted

Tracey Garvis Graves - and Anna and T.J. - are back with this companion novella to her New York Times romantic bestseller On the Island. 
 
When twenty-three-year-old dot-com millionaire Owen Sparks walks away from his charmed life, a remote uncharted island halfway around the world seems like the perfect destination. 
 
But meeting a beautiful British girl named Calia Reed isn't part of Owen's plans . . . 
 
Nor does he realise that a decision he'll make will have catastrophic implications for two passengers who will, one day in the future, board a plane in Chicago... 
 
But eleven years later, when Owen shows up at Anna and T.J.'s door with an incredible story to tell, everyone involved will learn just how much their lives are intertwined.

Tracey Garvis Graves lives in a suburb of Des Moines, Iowa, with her husband and two children. She blogs at www.traceygarvisgraves.com, and can also be found on Twitter @tgarvisgraves and at facebook.com/tgarvisgraves. This is her first novel.

When thirty-year-old English teacher Anna Emerson is offered a summer job tutoring T.J. Callahan at his family's holiday home in the Maldives, she accepts without hesitation: a tropical island trumps the library any day. 
 
T.J. Callahan has no desire to leave town, not that anyone asked him. He's almost seventeen and if having had cancer wasn't bad enough, he now has to spend his first summer in remission with his family -- and a stack of overdue essays -- instead of his friends. 
 
Anna and T.J. are en route to join T.J.'s family in the Maldives when the pilot of their seaplane suffers a fatal heart attack and crash-lands in the Indian Ocean. Adrift in shark-infested waters, their life jackets keep them afloat until they make it to the shore of an uninhabited island. There, Anna and T.J. must work together to obtain water, food, fire, and shelter, but even once their basic needs are met, they encounter plenty of other obstacles -- including the possibility, as the days turn to weeks and then months, that T.J.'s cancer could return. And, as T.J. celebrates yet another birthday on the island, Anna begins to wonder if the biggest challenge of all might be living with a boy who is gradually becoming a man...
