To BEA

Taking a cruise is quite popular these days, but not many have voyaged on all five of the Great Lakes. Bea is among the lucky few. Bea's great uncle worked on freighters on these inland waterways and he loved his experience so much that he bought Bea a ticket for her to cruise the seas. He is eager to swap stories with her. Bea starts her adventure in Toronto. There she meets James, an amiable photographer; Lydia, a genteel Southerner; and on the liner, Albert, a man well-mannered enough to please Lydia. When the cruise director announces that there will be a scavenger hunt on this trip, Albert and Lydia are determined to beat Bea and James in the competition. It's all in the spirit of good fun. But as Bea and James work together, do they go from being a team to becoming a couple?Mulligan, Elizabeth is the author of 'To BEA', published 2004 under ISBN 9781413711431 and ISBN 141371143X.
