Beneath the Surface: Chris McKenna

Tom thought he had made peace with the past.

Years after losing his wife, he travels to a remote Caribbean dive lodge expecting little more than a temporary escape from the life he has carefully built around his grief.

Instead, he finds himself surrounded by people who challenge the walls he has spent years constructing. Among them is Liv, a dive leader whose quiet strength begins to challenge the assumptions he has carried for years.

As Tom reconnects with the ocean he once loved, he begins to discover that healing is not about forgetting the past-it is about finding the courage to live beyond it.

Set against a backdrop of coral reefs, tropical waters, and island sunsets, Beneath the Surface is a moving novel about loss, resilience, and second chances.
