Born at sea, Abigail is the boisterous daughter of whaler Captain Sherman. Despite her father's attempts to turn her into the genteel girl she ought to be, her love of the ocean and the twists of fate and fortune conspire against him. Joan Druett steers us through her tempestous voyage into womanhood. Joan Druett won the PEN prize for her first book of non-fiction "Exotic Intruders".
