In my opinion, what makes it valuable is its authenticity. Tina was true to herself and didn't hold back.

The truth alone added to this book's authenticity. Tina wants the reader to feel her emotions and more.

What makes it valuable is what readers can learn from it and readers can relate her experiences to theirs and become stronger In overcoming their own kind of trauma.

The experiences of Tina were relatable and how she stood strong to overcome them and fight through the pain in a journey of therapy was touching and encouraging.

I find this book to be a valuable read because it talks mainly about the author's experiences in life which I believe can implant a deep connection to anyone who reads it.

Bluewater Walkabout is definitely a unique story, and is worth reading simply for the fact that it’s a narrative that explores things that many people will never get to experience, which makes it interesting and valuable. Dreffin’s perspective - both as a mother and as a woman - provides the reader a different lens through which to view the topic of adventure and exploration that a lot of other authors cannot claim.

I think Tina's book is valuable because of its novelty; the book felt new to me. I also loved her openness and display of strength.
