An adventurous account of following one's dreams
Susan Hitchcock and her family did what many of us have only dreamed about: they followed their dream, and embraced a simpler kind of life. For them, their dream was sailing--and to forge stronger family ties. And in COMING ABOUT, that's just what they did. You don't have to be a sailing buff to read this book--although that is one reason this book will appeal to many. But you do have to be a person concerned about and wanting to focus on your family, one who's determined to work it out with each family member, despite the ups and down. This is a beautifully written book about a courageous woman who comes into her own--as mother, woman, sailor. I find the book to be an inspiration, and I loved its sense of freedom and adventure.
