Description
Linda Petrat has lived a life of high adventure, both on and off the sea. In From Stem to Stern: A True Life Adventure, her riveting follow-up to A Great Big Adventure on a Good Little Boat, Linda tells the exciting story of her life, soup to nuts: from the transition between 1960s stateside family normality to an untethered life as a young teen aboard a schooner in the Bahamas, and then her return back to the States. Then there are the idyllic New England "farm years," when Linda and her husband raised two daughters, in a home she designed and built, as well as a slew of animals and¿Christmas trees. Then a disaster, then a true disaster, and then tough-nosed rebuilding.Linda Petrat does it all and then some in this sparkling and thoughtful memoir packed with wisdom and wit gleaned from an inspirational life truly lived in adventure, both on and off the sea.
