Sounds impressive, specially that it's a true story. I don't know anything about boats either but perhaps I could learn something from this!. Thanks for your review.

This isn't really the type of book I like to read. But I'm glad to see that it has an overall positive tone even dealing with such heavy themes. Thanks for the review!

This book looks very interesting and the narrative and time jumping is something I'd really enjoy. Only thing I'd be iffy reading is the sexual assault, but I think I'd give this a try.

Great review! It sounds like the author of this book has lived an incredible, eventful life! I don't usually read non-fiction, so I'm not quite sure this is the book for me. I love the cover though and I'm sure others will enjoy this book.

Memoirs aren't really my genre, but this one sounds like it's formatted/styled differently that most. It's interesting that there is a cliffhanger.

Great review! For me memoirs are usually not at the top of my TBR list but this one sounds amazing, full of excitement, nature, adventure, family and heart. I will definitely be reading this book. I'm very intrigued that it ends on a bit of a cliffhanger. Something I've not encountered with a memoir. I have a feeling I'll be seeking out the authors next book. Thanks so much for sharing.

My first concern would have also been that it would be depressing, but your review makes it sound extremely interesting. I may just give this one a shot. You did a great job with the review and it is very informative.

Great review! This book sounds simply captivating. To live on a boat is probably a dream for many, however, this family managed to turn it into a reality.

This sounds like quite an adventure. It's made even better because it's real. Thanks for a lovely review.
