Douglas Durian used to be a dangerous man until a traumatic event, on his last mission, took away five years of his memory. Now he has learned to deal with his depression by sailing the oceans alone, using his daydreams to try and understand what happened to him.
He rescues a young girl, far out at sea, and his life starts to turn around. She becomes his strength as she opens his eyes to the beauty of the world and gives him a reason to live again. The child insists that he remember his past, in order to protect her from a man who had held her in servitude.
She is abducted from Douglas and he is shattered, as past events return to him, until he decides he must rescue the child in order to save both their lives.
He set about finding her and making sure that those who have her will never harm her again. He is aided by his one true friend and a woman, from his past, who loves him.
Sailing, adventure, love for a boat, love of a child, love of the sea, desperate action, violent storms and descriptive, smooth cadence are all found here.
Reviewer says: Dannie C. Hill has the soul of a poet and it shows in the lyrical quality of his writing. While his book, "In Search of a Soul" is an adventure set on the high seas, he compliments his reader's intelligence with a wonderful command and use of vocabulary aimed higher than the normal grade 8 literacy level.
