The Sea Captain's Wife by Beth Powning
A gripping novel of love and adventure on the high seas that introduces an unforgettable young heroine.Growing up on the Bay of Fundy in the 1860s, Azuba Galloway is determined to escape the confines of her town and live at sea. When she captures the heart of Captain Nathaniel Bradstock, she is sure her dreams are about to be realized, only to have pregnancy intervene. But when Azuba becomes embroiled in a scandal, Nathaniel must bring his young family abroad to save his reputation. Azuba gets her wish, but at what price?
Alone in a male world, and juggling the splendor of foreign ports with the terror of the open seas, Azuba must fight to keep her family together. Blending the high-tension drama of missed chances and unexpected twists of the sort that made A Reliable Wife a bestseller with the pluck and spirit of a heroine in the vein of Laura Ingalls Wilder, The Sea Captain's Wife will captivate readers and critics alike.
Beth Powning was born and raised in a small New England village where her family had resided since the 1790s. She and her husband, Peter Powning, relocated to Canada in 1972 and bought a farm in New Brunswick in the 1870s, where they started a pottery business. Flowers for Canadian Gardens (authored by childhood friend Bob Osborne) was published by Beth Powning in 1995. In Home: Chronicle of a North Country Life, she found her voice. Five publications followed over the next fifteen years: Northern Trees and Shrubs, another collection of pictures; Shadow Child and Edge Seasons, two nonfiction works; and The Hatbox Letters, The Sea Captain's Wife, and A Measure of Light, three bestselling novels.
