At the age of fifteen, she is 'banished' from the only life she has known and loved. Her parents have decided to send her away from 'unsavoury' influences to spend a year in the company of her Aunt, Uncle and small cousin in France. We follow Jane through her time in a foreign country, her return to Ireland and the harbour she loves; complete with the myriad of characters she encounters along the way. We track her time at a new school, at college and beyond. We rejoice in her success, sympathise with her failures and mishaps and cheer at her determination to be herself, despite the obstacles put in her way. Jane is nothing if not a fighter and her deep love of the sea, sailing and the men who do so, is the constant thread that keeps her moving forward. A delightful recollection of the five years she enjoys as she journeys from teenager to adulthood. A story that will resonate with many.
