a novel

by Magdalena Zschokke

Not yet rated

Mara, Olivia and Zoe are all women committed to a life of sailing, and share the struggle to find their place in a world dominated by wealthy and powerful men. Each of these three women brings a personal quest to her voyages. Mara's dream of becoming a captain has come true; now she wants to understand her recently discovered love for women. Zoe tries to balance her need for intimate connection with other women, with her love life of casual affairs. Olivia struggles to heal from an abusive childhood.

Olivia, Zoe and Mara meet the challenge of isolation and the tests of strength that come with weeks spent on the open ocean. But it is their letters, dreams and connection to the stars that keep them going, moving toward their goal of an all female crew.
