But when her once-successful business went bankrupt, she lost the will to begin again. Instead, she set sail with no money aboard her 31-foot \u003ci\u003eSouthern Cross\u003c\/i\u003e on a journey through eight years, forty countries, and thirty thousand miles that would ultimately make her one of the first women--and the oldest--to sail around the world alone. Ahead lay new beginnings on exotic shores. But at sea, in a solitary circle of gales, slow miles, and overarching sky, she found by hesitant degrees a precious gift--the distance from which to reach peace with the choices and abandonments of a tumultuous life. Searingly honest, \u003ci\u003eBy the Grace of the Sea\u003c\/i\u003e is for travelers, daughters, mothers, and seekers. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"A damn good book--it might even be a great book. . . .
