The Mysterious Disappearance of The Sara Ann

Book excerpt: It was one of the happiest days of Sara Ann’s life, it was spring break and her father bought a new boat. He wanted to surprise his daughter and take her on her first trip on a boat in the ocean. Sara lost her mother a few years ago to cancer, and her father took it hard and knew in his heart no other woman could ever fill that hole in his heart so he just focused on his only daughter Sara Ann, and made sure she never did without, and always put her first because Sara was very close to her mother, and he had not always been around because of working so many hours at his job and decided to do the best he could to raise her in a loving home so she could grow up and be the best person she could like her mother. Sara’s father bought the boat so he could spend more time with his daughter and let her see the beauty of the ocean even though it was short-lived. Sara’s father blindfolded his daughter and took her to his barn where he hid the boat from Sara for a surprise. When Sara entered the barn her father took off the blindfold and Sara said “It’s beautiful father.” Then her father said I’ve got another surprise and he took her by the hand around the other side of the boat and said “You can open your eyes now.” Sara cried tears of joy and said “That’s my name!” Her father chimed in and said, “I named the boat after you because when you were born it was the happiest day of your mom and I lives.” Sara gave her dad a hug and thanked him. Her father said, “Why don’t we take it for a spin?” Sara said, “That would be so cool!” “I can only be gone for an hour because I promised my friends I would go with them on our spring break.” Her father replied, “That’s fine I know you’re excited about going on this trip and there will always be more trips on the boat in the days to come.” “Remember, I was young once too and I could not wait to go on spring break with my friends so no big deal.” Sara’s father hooked up the boat to his truck and the two drove happily to the dock and set sail in the ocean on a clear beautiful sunny day. Even though Sara’s father read the stories about the Bermuda Triangle, he just thought they were all explainable and not mysterious disappearances as were written about in many books.
