The ruby sea glass

the long version

"As a freshman in college, Sloan Abernathy makes a promise to his dying father: to make straight As, and to not waste time in relationships with girls who aren't right for him. Sloan is sure that he's living up to his father's creed when he meets and falls in love with Abigale, his soul mate. But while stationed in Spain, Sloan makes one mistake that sends him spinning down a completely different path. Through marriage, career, and fatherhood, The ruby sea glass is the saga of one man's commitment to do what's right; the lives he touches along the way; and through it all, his singular focus to sail off into the sunset in the end, the true love of his life by his side."--Page 4 of cover.
