 Want to change your life? June 26, 2007
This book is a testimonial to the concept that we can create our own possibilities. If you are looking for the confidence to pursue your own dream, The Cure for Anything provides one ordinary woman's account of how to pursue the extraordinary.
In addition to being inspirational, the book is extremely witty (it made me laugh out loud a couple of times)and filled with interesting tidbits and true gems of wisdom. And along with all the troubles and trevails at sea that Ms. South shares with us is a love story with all the twists and turns that only real life can hold.
This has become one of my favourite books of all time.

A great story of an inquisitive mind looking for fulfillment by jumping ship on the present cruise of life to start a Voyangege to renew and continue a successful life by taking a different boat. The amount of courage taken to attempt such a change is no less than a trip through space, but this is down home and shows us the challenge we each have in our own back yard. So well written we can all identify with the exposure of her life and its honesty. The book brings you onboard and makes you want your innermost thoughts to come to life as you travel along with her adventure.

I continue to find that first time novelist are the best and Mary South is no exception. She is an excellent writer with a compelling story to share with us all. I could see myself having a similar adventure and laughed along with her. A good read.

On the surface, The Cure For Anything Is Salt Water is about a fantastic voyage, fraught with risk and full of excitement. But for me, it was really about trying to make sense of your life so far, especially when it comes to love. By sharing her own true stories of childhood, family, relationships and work -- interspersed with Perfect Storm-like adventure -- Mary South makes you think about your own emotional life and try to find peace with the journey so far. Whether you are an aspiring mariner, a hopeless romantic or a wandering soul, Salt Water is a funny, heartfelt book that will help you find your own inner compass.

What a great book. I started it a few nights ago and I can't put it down. I don't know a thing about boating, but I've dreamed of doing something similar to this for years -- just quitting my job and following my dream. She's so honest, she makes it seem possible for anyone to just go out and make it happen. Some parts are so funny that I keep waking up my husband from laughing so hard. I'm going to give this book to all my friends for their birthdays.
