Captain My Captain (Meroff)

This is a romantic novel based on a true life account set in the days of the California gold rush and the New England shipping boom.  Mary found herself struggling to save both Joshua's life and the ship.  Against the forces of sea and gale, and against a crew who felt her presence aboard the ship was "bad luck", she wrestled valiantly, torn between her roles as surrogate captain and wife. This romantic novel is so filled with excitement and drama, it is difficult to put it down once one has begun it. It reflects the struggle between choosing Satan’s ways or God’s ways.
