Product Description
"Dr. Botox" to the bored rich women of Chicago, plastic surgeon Max Jordan was shocked by his son Joshua's decision to focus his medical talent on Haitian orphans. Embittered by Joshua's sudden death, Max searched for resolution in the place his son called home. The selflessness of Joshua's coworkers stunned Max. He was particularly taken with American volunteer Valerie Austin, whose dream of a tropical honeymoon had been crushed, replaced by a stint working in the impoverished orphanage. But Valerie's view of Joshua's sacrifice—and her own—challenged everything Max knew. Had the doors to his gilded cage finally opened?

 Wonderful re-release of a delightful romance. May 16, 2008
Over the Waters is one of those rare books that is good enough to read twice. The emotion is deep,the romance is beatiful, and the selfless love of the characters is admirable. Neither main character started out giving of themselves with full abandon to God and His service, but as they grow in Him and listen to His voice they are pulled by His love in that direction. I adore love stories written by Deb Raney and this is no exception. In fact, it's one of my favorites. What thrills me most, however, about the re-release of this book, is that the epilogue includes some yummy kisses. Yahoo! What a fabulous way to end a beautiful romance story. If you haven't experienced the emotional and spiritual rush from reading the first release of Over the Waters, then you MUST check out this version (the mass market paperback) with the brand new epilogue!
Great book by a wonderful author! April 9, 2007

Taking you along on a missions trip to an orphanage, Deborah Raney invites the reader to join the adventure! And when God is the Author of the adventure, you can be sure of a very good ride! I really enjoyed the book because I came to like the characters so much and can't wait for the sequal.
A well written book that is enjoyable all the way through July 17, 2006

The only thing I didn't like about it is that it ended.
I didn't want to let these characters go. It was a wonderful read full of depth and struggles but with hope that inspires me to do more with my life.
I hope there will be more books with these characters because I LOVED this book!
 Enjoyable, ok Christian romance July 12, 2006

Over the Waters by Deborah Raney is the story of Dr. Max Jordan and Valerie Austin as they each struggle to find their way while working at an orphanage in Haiti. Much of the story is a romance, but Raney handles it in a way so that the couple's relationship is really secondary to the rest of the plot and characters. Dr. Jordan's son, Joshua, died in Haiti a year ago while working at an orphanage, so Max travels in his son's footsteps trying to find the same peace Joshua had found. Valerie is recovering from a broken engagement and uses the opportunity to focus on someone other than herself. Max's change of heart comes about rather abruptly, and the backstory of the Greene's seems a bit stretched, but overall the plot flows well and is enjoyable to read. It's an ok book. Don't rush out and buy it, but if you find it on the library shelf, bring it home for a good read.

I thoroughly enjoyed this book. Some of it was predictable but I don't care - I hoped it would end the way it did and was not the least bit disappointed. I read it in one day while on vacation and then moved on to one of her other books, "Playing by Heart."
Deb Raney is a great author.
