Sons and Daughters of the Ocean
Haul out and set sails for a trip back to the 1870's.
Sons and Daughters of the Ocean takes you back to the age of sail, where fortunes were made and lives were shaped by the fickle winds that raged across the oceans.
The first novel by award-winning journalist Kevin C. Mills is a historical look back at a small coastal village – Brooks Harbor, Maine.
A close proximity to the ocean creates an environment in which the shipping industry is the lifeblood of the town. The community is filled with merchant mariners, shipbuilders and crew. Those that don't earn their keep directly from the sea-faring life either profit or benefit from the shipping industry.
Sammy Jones, Albert Miller and Sarah Dyer are products of that environment. Their families have rich maritime histories and all three characters are about to embark on a distinctive course in their lives that will change them forever. They are not only products of their environment but also have their fortunes shaped by the ocean's impact.
Sons and Daughters of the Ocean isn't just a historical novel about sailing and tall ships. It is a tale of adventure, courage, love and destiny.
All three characters tell their individual stories from a first-person perspective. You feel their joy and hurt with their sorrows. You experience their fear and follow their lives from inside their minds and hearts. You don't just read about the age of sail and the people it evolves around, you live that life and step back in time with each of these characters.
Feel the sea breeze and the smell of the salty air. Hold fast as you roll with each wave. Let Sons and Daughters of the Ocean take you away to the age of sail and the era that shaped the coast of Maine for generations to come.
