What's new:

A young woman meets an amazing guy, falls in love, and they move in together. Straightforward enough, right?
Except he lives on a boat—a 38-foot trawler, docked in Chicago. Felicia Schneiderhan has a fine literary sensibility
and manages to be both funny and deeply serious in writing about boats and love and relationships.
This book will delight any boater, or any land-dweller dreaming of escape.
