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.

Book Description Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Susan Hitchcock felt her family of four drifting apart. As she watched the daily demands of life tug her away from her husband and two young children, she knew they must find a way back to each other. So to reconnect as a family, they took to the sea. Sailing for nine months and 3,500 miles around the Caribbean aboard Hei Tiki, they meet formidable challenges from the volatile moods of Mother Nature and the mighty ocean to the cultural barriers on distant islands and their own innermost fears. Though a novice sailor, Susan soon develops an affinity for the water, feeling her life pulse with the sensual rhythm of the tides. And through both the rigors and the serenity of sailing, her family discovers a newfound intimacy and joy in the adventure of a lifetime. Susan Hitchcock felt her family of four drifting apart.
