On the outside it appeared that Nash Hudson, an aspiring cruise director, had his life together. He was overzealous, headstrong, and extremely impatient while fulfilling his desires on his terms first, then demanding that God bless it all. Just as Nash skillfully shaped his next career steps, he was unexpectedly swept away by a current that would divinely reset his career trajectory and ultimately save his life. In this inspirational memoir, Nash reveals how, with his dreams hanging in the balance, he was relocated from his childhood home while suffering from the internalized side effects of fatherlessness, childhood trauma he mistakenly believed was wiped from his memories, and an estranged relationship with God. As he chronicles his experiences, Nash offers a candid glimpse into the world of a broken man who hit rock bottom, discovered God was the rock at the bottom, and embraced the necessary waves of character transformation that would propel him into an unfathomable experience he could have never envisioned. Undertow is the true story of one man’s experiences in unchartered waters as he surrendered rebellion and pride and courageously rode a wave that eventually brought him back home to God.

But his daughter soon discovers both he and her mother are keeping pieces of her reality hidden, still. As Maura struggles to unravel the mysteries surrounding her new existence and discover every piece of the cryptic puzzle, life appears intent on casting stumbling blocks across her path with every step forward. Tragedy seems to stalk Maura, and those around her, as she stumbles along, altering the young changeling’s family, just when they have all come back together. The changes left in its wake could be for the better, or may threaten their existence, entirely. With the arrival of Christmas comes the opportunity for Maura to draw close to everyone she loves—and finally reunite with Ron, the man she loves. But permanence has always eluded her, and in her current state of flux this pattern endures, as fate seems intent on snapping the threads that bind her to those she holds most dear. Maxwell’s good intentions pave a road for Maura, littered with misery, while her mother, Caelyn’s, desire to shield her family from pain may tear her away from them, altogether. The perfect happiness in the young vampire’s grasp is so easily swept away and dragged under, out of reach. Can Maura erupt from the darkness and confusion to break the surface and find the life she’s always dreamed of? In the midst of chaos, assistance materializes in the form of another of her kind—ephemerally beautiful, yet explosively volatile, this new vampire may prove capable of unlocking the puzzle-box Maxwell seems intent on securing from her sight.

Although there are ties to the myths created by Stoker and his timeless novel, the Maura DeLuca story possesses a sprinkle of magic, coupled with ‘monsters’ that—in most cases—retain the majority of their humanity.
