From the Publisher:

" "An exuberant, headlong, exhausting ride . . . more than a book about sailboat racing; it's also about a dream ferociously pursued and the price paid for realizing it . . . impossible to put down.""

"--Derek Lundy, author, "Godforsaken Sea

""A story of mythic shape--of a young girl who receives a call to adventure and sets out on a compulsive journey, and finds mentors, tests, dark caves, despair, a supreme ordeal, and triumph.""

"--Peter Nichols, author, "A Voyage for Madmen

""A passionate account that is far more than just another book about racing.""

"--"The (London) Times
