Christina DiMari has lived, and then written, a story of piercing pain and gritty redemption. She will take you on a journey from unbearable hurt to shattering revelations to grace that breaks one wave after another on the surf.
John Ortberg
Author, God is Closer than you think


When I’m surfing, I’ve noticed that the ocean stars that survive the pounding waves and don’t get washed up on shore to die are the ones that attach themselves to the rocks. When the thrashing waves set out to destroy Christina’s life, she lost some important pieces of her star, but not her heart! She found her Rock and held on tight. This book will change your life forever and leave you craving to live your life to the fullest!!
