·   I’ll Take You to Seethe Ocean by Chantal Bellehumeur 

o   What genre is it?

·   I originally categorized it as woman’s literature, but men have been known to enjoy the fictional story. It’s a feel-good travel story.

o   When and where is your tale set?

·   The modern story starts off in Montreal (Canada) where the main character lives with her son.  They embark on a cruise along the St-Laurence River which takes them all the way to the Magdalen Islands. On their way back, they explore Gaspe and Quebec City.

o   Do you consider yourself to be good, bad, or indifferent?  Would others agree with this assessment – why, or why not?

3.   What do we need to know about you?

o   What is your personal goal?  I mean, what do you ultimately want?

·   I want what every loving mother wants; for her child to be happy. My son James had been dreaming about seeing the ocean for a while so I decided to take him on a cruise.

o   What is standing in your way?  What conflict(s) do you face?

·   Nothing is standing in my way per say, although I miss my deceased husband.

There are a few mishaps that happen in the story, but I don’t want to spoil it for the readers. 😉

o   Why is this goal important to you?  What’s your motivation?

·   James associates the ocean with his father, whom he never met. I felt that fulfilling his dream to see the ocean would somehow help him connect with him. Also, I just really want to see him happy.

o   If you could change one thing about yourself, what would it be, and why?

·   I have a hard time letting go of my deceased husband. He died of cancer when I was pregnant with James.  Sometimes I feel it might be unhealthy, yet I want James to know whom his father was so continue to tell him stories and share pictures.  I think my behavior affected James.
