She’s lost in a current of self-doubt. Will heartbreak and turmoil keep her adrift, or help her navigate to the satisfaction she craves?

Clara Smith is struggling to find herself. Grieving the loss of her dear elderly Italian friend and deciding to return to Los Angeles to confront bad memories, the lawyer battles with the pull of her old music career. And her emotional confusion only worsens when the best friend she’s loved for years stops his wedding to another at the altar, plants a kiss on Clara’s lips… and jets off to Paris.

Caught in a whirlpool of feelings and alone in an uncomfortable city, Clara reconnects with her passion and composes beautiful piano pieces. But when opportunity tugs at her heart, she risks letting the past drag her back into its undertow.

Will the talented musician discover the courage to let her soul soar in a true expression of love?

Reminds me of how life should be lived

Reading boat on the ocean, I felt like the day I felt when me and my now husband first confessed our feelings for each other. I felt light. Like the world is as beautiful as we make it. The story of the main character, Clara, makes me remember how life should be lived. With passion and as a never ending journey to teach yourself new things. While always caring for those in your life. Clara is immersed in living (not on social media, but truly living) and is opening her heart both to her past and her future. A new central character who was not in “looking for Clara”, becomes an important part of the story. I can’t wait for the next chapters of Clara’s life. Especially after the past two years of the ongoing pandemic, reading “boat on the ocean” was soothing for my seoul. It is about love, music, and daring to live. Simona Grossi’s books are magical. I finish each of her books just waiting for the next one. (Amazon Reader)

Beautiful continuation of Clara's Story

Back when I read “Looking for Clara”, I was in a different mindset , I guess a different part of my own story. Now that time has passed , reading the continuation of Clara’s story made me look into my own past as well and how far I have made it. Reading now much Clara has changed in regards to her feelings and how an old character has became a main character in her story was lovely, I hope we are able to learn more about Clara and continue on with her story.
