Y he aqui un profesor que sabe Lo que es de la vida los azares, Con paso singular, sereno y suave Nos muestra con su gesto recto y grave Que todas las desgracias y avatares, Son de su vida el gozo mas la clave. ooo 0 ooo Tan solo hay una meta clara y viva, Tan solo es El Senor nuestro destino Y toda maravilla del camino Es esa Odisea que nos guia. Para este Berciano de Los Barrios De fina pluma y singular atino, Sea este soneto paladino Un premio a sus esfuerzos y agravios. Hector Blanco Teran

Literary Nonfiction. Women's Studies. BOAT GIRL is the heartbreaking memoir of growing up aboard a sailboat. Throughout the 1980's and 90's, Melanie's family lived aboard a 47-foot sailboat, spending their summers along the US East Coast and their winters in the Bahamas. But the cruising life was not all fun in the sun. The family had to work hard to pay for their way of life. They dodged hurricanes, overzealous federal agents and bullying land-kids. And they endured a boatload of family drama. As her father published articles about how living on a boat brings families together, Melanie secretly struggled with an eating disorder, the alienation of being a boat kid, and confusion over her developing sexuality. As an adult, she lived aboard her own 28-foot sailboat and had several relationships trying to find someone who wasn't intimidated by her stubborn independence and free-spirited lifestyle. BOAT GIRL weaves all this together into a story about a girl who, once all is said and done, simply wants her own boat and her own life. Melanie paints a vivid picture of the trials and tribulations of family life aboard a sailboat without drowning the reader in the technical details of sailing. BOAT GIRL strikes a perfect balance between a coming of age story and a sea tale, enjoyable for boaters and land-lovers alike.
