Ride the Restless Tide by Margaret Devereaux Pdf
John, captain of a square-rigger, takes wife and children on an eventful, perilous voyage around Cape Horn to China. His sea adventures provide excitement in an account of the period that includes the War of 1812, sometimes referred to as "a forgotten war". Mary Jo, a young woman with an exceptional singing voice, experiences additional heartbreak soon after loss of her father at sea. Watch her grope her way through a loveless marriage, her obsession with music lifting her to inspired heights or at times driving her to despair. Will the vibrant, passionate woman locked within her find freedom of expression and love? Follow fourteen-year-old Jamie, impressed from his father ́s fishing vessel by a gang from a British warship, as he faces the harsh realities of life in the Royal Navy. Join him in the horror of battle at sea, see him abandoned and lost in Russia, and journey with him through years of struggle to reach home. Finally, hear an account of the storm that changed forever life as Marbleheaders had known it for generations.
