AbstractHistoryArchive Description

A foundling rescued from a shipwreck grows up in a fishing village but runs away with a city man just before she marries a good strong fisherman. A few years later she returns to die, leaving her child to Bill. But further tragedy follows ... well-written and at times moving first-person narrative from a rough, honest, sailor persona. Avoids the merely sentimental. (PB)
