About the Book

On a foggy evening in 1857, Nikki, a young injured orphan runs for safety into the arms of a stranger, Jonathan Brewster, a 33 year old sea captain. He takes her to his family home, assumes responsibility for her welfare, and the bonds of an extraordinary lifelong friendship begin to develop.

With wisdom, great love and inexhaustible faith in God, Nikki leads the couple to overcome difficulties and grow together on their incredible journey through life.


About the Author

Carol Bluni was born in Brooklyn, New York, during World War II. She has four children, four grandchildren, and a master’s degree in education. Besides playing piano and singing with her church choir, she has happily been an elementary school teacher on Long Island for almost twenty-five years. As a child she had three dreams for her life, to be a mother, a teacher and a writer – all of which she has now achieved.

Her book, Beyond Ambergris, was begun more than twenty years ago when she decided to write the story that had been on her mind. However, with a divorce and change in residence, the story was packed in a box where it sat for seventeen years. One Ash Wednesday, in search of a Lenten sacrifice, she chose cleaning storage boxes over her usual candy fast, and discovered her incomplete manuscript. She decided to finish it, which proved hardly a sacrifice. It was such a joy, she was sorry to see it finally completed.
