When Captain Ruel Packard dies in a foreign port and his men desert to the goldfields, his wife, must decide: abandon the Vera B or take the helm herself.
With a weather-scarred boatswain at her side, Alice scours Melbourne and melds together a fisher girl, a barmaid, a farmer's widow, a countess and her maid, and a handful of women fleeing a brothel to make up her new crew.
Across tempest and betrayal, these women learn to splice rope, reef sail, and mend their own shattered hearts. Each mile tests their faith and their friendship. Each horizon brings pirates, storms, and a question the charts cannot answer: how far will they go to keep a promise?
This historical fiction blends danger, devotion, and quiet heroism.
From the bustle of colonial Australia to the wild reaches of the Coral Sea and the Indian Ocean, this maritime saga brims with peril, hope, and the strength of women who dare the impossible.
Readers who relish the seamanship of Patrick O'Brian and the heart of Kristin Hannah will find both in The Seafaring Women of the Vera B-a sweeping, faith-infused voyage of survival and courage.
Set sail with the Vera B-and discover what courage sounds like in the wind.his title was originally published by Tea Tin Press.
