- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5A powerful, heartfelt memoir. I loved it from the jump. The Deluxe beach version audiobook with sounds and music set the tone for an amazing story of this healer's mind blowing life story. I especially loved all the locations and descriptions. The way dance and surfing intertwined in Andrew's life was incredible. You've got to read this great adventure.
