They set out to explore every aspect of the sea, from an estuary and mangroves to Antarctic waters and the deep ocean. Mother Sea is a whisper of emotion and a memory of intuition. She dwells in the subconscious. Sea creatures abound, from sea urchins and stingrays to dolphins and sharks. Some of these parallel the behaviour of the women. Sea nymphs accompany them and they are assisted by a special conch shell. While they are exploring the sea, the women also explore their own make-ups. Laura remembers interactions with her own mother. Daphne needs nurturing. However, they have no idea of the profound changes which will come to them.
Poems are scattered throughout the book, which is also poetic.
Protect Our Oceans
The ocean faces threats from pollution, climate change, overfishing, and proposed deep sea mining. These issues disrupt marine ecosystems and harm wildlife. Protecting the ocean involves reducing plastic use, preventing pollutants, supporting sustainable fishing, and opposing deep sea mining.

You Can’t Keep A Good Man Down
From Parkinson’s to a new life with Deep Brain Stimulation. One man’s story of how his life was affected by Parkinson’s Disease, and then recovered with Deep Brain Stimulation.
The Structure of Light
At a time when the distancing eye is our culture’s preferred way of relating to the world around us, and when we value reasonable rather than emotional responses, Sally Ann Hunter evokes a richly multi-sensual world, and is enthralled by emotional experience. Her poems convey intensity by welding outer experience to inner feeling.
