Synopsis The Fearless Sailor by : David Rizzo
Improved and Updated. In this book, the author shares "introspective philosophies and strategies that have deeply impacted the way [he] sails through life." The book features inspirational philosophies and messages about discipline, self-control, and confidence. The text encourages readers to "think about the other possibilities there are in life outside of the few that we are predominately exposed to." To avoid confusion, the "Fearless Sailor" is a story about a character in the book, the author is a former sailor and the cover image represents the character in the book.

Synopsis Love with a Chance of Drowning by : Torre DeRoche
Love can make a person do crazy things . . . A city girl with a morbid fear of deep water, Torre DeRoche is not someone you would ordinarily find adrift in the middle of the stormy Pacific aboard a leaky sailboat – total crew of two – struggling to keep an old boat, a new relationship and her floundering sanity afloat. But when she meets Ivan, a handsome Argentinean man with a humble sailboat and a dream to set off exploring the world, Torre has to face a hard decision: watch the man she's in love with sail away forever, or head off on the watery journey with him. Suddenly the choice seems simple. She gives up her sophisticated city life, faces her fear of water (and tendency towards seasickness) and joins her lover on a year-long voyage across the Pacific. Set against a backdrop of the world's most beautiful and remote destinations, Love with a Chance of Drowning is a sometimes hilarious, often moving and always brave memoir that proves there are some risks worth taking. 'A gripping romantic adventure – with laughs (and whales).' Maggie Alderson 'Hilarious ... recounts the adventure of a lifetime.' Vogue Australia 'My respect for Torre as a human being increased with each chapter. Torre is the living embodiment of my mantra, fear less, love more!' Huffington Post 'By turns gripping, laugh-out-loud funny, moving and uplifting ... Almost any reader with a sense of adventure or a desire to confront their fears should love it.'

Synopsis Sailor and Beachcomber, Confessions of a Life at Sea, in Australia, and Amid the Islands of the Pacific (Classic Reprint) by : A. Safroni-Middleton
Excerpt from Sailor and Beachcomber, Confessions of a Life at Sea, in Australia, and Amid the Islands of the Pacific All I say of the South Sea missionaries is said in good-fellowship. Some of the best men are mission aries and sacrifice years of their life in a hopeless quest. So bear with the honesty of one who has fought side by side with the best and worst, and face to face with the grim realities of existence. For the present I hope someone will like what I have written in this, my book - one more ambitious plunge of a failure.

Synopsis Inside Out & Back Again by : Thanhha Lai
Moving to America turns H&à's life inside out. For all the 10 years of her life, H&à has only known Saigon: the thrills of its markets, the joy of its traditions, the warmth of her friends close by, and the beauty of her very own papaya tree. But now the Vietnam War has reached her home. H&à and her family are forced to flee as Saigon falls, and they board a ship headed toward hope. In America, H&à discovers the foreign world of Alabama: the coldness of its strangers, the dullness of its food, the strange shape of its landscape, and the strength of her very own family. This is the moving story of one girl's year of change, dreams, grief, and healing as she journeys from one country to another, one life to the next.
