The Last Voyage of the Cosmic Muffin

Valerie Perez was primed for adventure. After completing her time as a Peace Corps Volunteer in Micronesia, she met Shep, captain of the seagoing sailboat, Cosmic Muffin. The landlubber and the sailor gave in to their passions and struck out together on an extended voyage to Hawaii and, ultimately, to Shep's home in California. In this delightful and compelling memoir, Valerie tells the story of falling in love with a man who eschews commitment, and spending months at sea enduring a relationship that runs as hot and cold as the Pacific currents. What stirs the reader's heart in this very forthright memoir is the author's growth, specifically her ability to come to terms with the truth about this relationship. . .and her relationship to God. Ultimately, Perez comes to understand that what really matters in life is self-respect, the ability to confront adversity, appreciating love and friendship in all their permutations, and an honest relationship with God.

5Ocean Romance  Apr 12, 2007
The adventures in The Last Voyage of the Cosmic Muffin take the reader on a Pacific Ocean voyage in a small sailing vessel; this was not a pleasure cruise. The author shares her memoirs as the sole crewmember/passenger aboard with no previous sea experience. Her sense of comedy gives relief to tense moments during rough sea storms or tender moments of love between herself and the captain. The author shares with you the beauty of the open seas, gorgeous sunsets, wild birds and sea life, as well as occasional subtle philosophical observations. This is a very enjoyable book to read.

5Valerie is amazing!  Nov 13, 2006
This book in fantastic, particularly for the author's first book. It is a must-read!!

5Great for a first book!!!  Sep 29, 2006
I found this book enormously entertaining-Valerie is willing to reveal her own flaws and strengths in a humorous and compassionate way-I laughed out loud quite often at how we humans "operate". Highly recommend

This is a book you will want to read. It is a must read for anyone who has wanted to follow their dreams and has thrown caution to the wind and done it. Shows that no matter, what your age is, dreams should be pursued. Very inspirational, funny at times, and thought provoking.

5A discovery of adventure and self   Aug 13, 2006
Valerie Perez is a great writer. How can someone describe clouds and ones own emotions in so many true and beautiful ways, with each description new and touching. She is one of the most open and honest authors in years. I only wish she had more pages to tell about her life before this adventure - maybe in her next book. As a son of a Sea Captain, she brought back many memories to me of the endless seas and anticipated horizons.
