"Sailing Directions" is a novelized memoir of grief and recovery
set aboard a luxurious sailing yacht traveling the Greek Islands,
based on the personal experience of the author. Is it possible that
taking a job as cook on a luxurious sailing yacht, and getting away
from her own small town can help Nina get over the death of her
beloved husband, Jake? Her friend Alex thinks so, and convinces her
to come to Greece where he's captain of Desiree, a one hundred foot
beauty owned by a ruthless American financier known to his crew as
the Boss. It's a small world, with intense dynamics. The Boss is
demanding, and prone to tantrums. Seasickness, heat, exhaustion and
grief threaten to defeat Nina, and ultimately, the Boss's
willfulness nearly destroys his lovely toy and puts them all in
danger. However, Nina finds a stock of resilience, humor, and even
romance that lightens her darkest moments. The settings are
wonderfully and carefully researched and detailed. Sailing under
the stars, stormy seas, gourmet meals, visits to remote harbors and
ancient sites; the reader is in for some serious vicarious pleasure
while at the same time relating to the timeless struggle of
recovery from loss.
