A #1 Amazon Bestseller, Peter Cloutier’s “What We Were Making” is
a must-read for those who love ocean adventures, political thrillers,
romance, or coming-of-age stories!
When the lives of two expatriates intersect at the edge of civilization,
opportunity, duty and deception collide. Jane is a budding ambassador of
heightened motivation, insight, and curiosity. Relentless in her pursuit of
justice, ethics, and the common good, her life lacks love. Enter Bill, an
adrenaline-fueled waterman who lives breath to breath, wave to wave, and
fish to fish. A schoolteacher by day, he embodies the island life but
without partnership. When catastrophe unfolds, the two must respond to those
in need while attempting to dismantle the deeper collusion around them. In
the end, the only winners are those who have the resilience to stand.
What others have to say about Peter Cloutier’s “What We Were
Making”:
“A masterful blend of two contrasting worlds, political and natural,
Peter Cloutier’s What We Were Making is a sensational and evocative journey
into the lives of two lovers suffering the greatest challenge of all:
meaning. With a new layer of domesticity, romanticism, policy, and reality
in each chapter, it is as multidimensional as it is tragic, and a must-read
in any event.” – JJ Hebert, USA Today, WSJ and #1 Amazon best-selling
author
“A tremendous homage to the worlds of land and sea, of beautiful
conflicts of interest, and I hope that all readers may find the same grace,
eloquence, and courage that I found in…” – Mariel Hemingway,
Oscar-nominated actress and author, granddaughter of Nobel Prize-winning
novelist Ernest Hemingway
