If the Sea Must Be Your Home
The journey begins...
If the Sea Must Be Your Home is the true story of a seafaring family from West Barnstable, Massachusetts, during the final chapter of the Great Age of Sail and the tumultuous years of the Civil War. The story reveals the inner thoughts of a lonely shipmaster as he traverses the vastness of the sea, writing to the woman he loves. The book elevates the experiences of women who braved years-long sailing voyages to keep their families together and intersects with stories of soldiers and slaves as our country was torn apart at the seams.
