Sailing Uncharted Waters (Volume One): A Mystical Voyage into the Unknown - Nan Colwell Creaghan - Bog

This first volume of Nan Colwell Creaghan's trilogy tells the fictional story of Victoria Adams, who lived during the thirties, forties, and fifties in a small town in northern New Brunswick, Canada. These are difficult years for a young girl, conflicted with racism, religion, poverty, and the growth of a sleeping giant suddenly awakening from a devastating war that changes morals, faith, and finances. Her naivety and innocence are soon overcome when she's educated in the school of hard knocks. She falls in love with a man from a wealthy family, and her life changes when, after a devastating start, they continue their marriage, relocating numerous times without ever establishing roots. Through it all, Victoria volunteers to help imprisoned women and street kids, raises two children, and plays hostess and companion to her husband, who is vice president/general manager of major companies in Canada and the United States-until it all falls apart. In writing this trilogy as an allegory, Victoria envisions a new way of life, sailing as a female skipper in a little red sailboat, taking her she knows not where. Volume 2 Available from author and from Amazon. Volume 3 to be published in the near future.
