Summary:
Its the sixties. Everythings groovy. Teenagers bask in the freedom of a country transformed. Counterculture is on the rise, and the times, they-are-a-changing. Everything, that is, except the authors young life.
She doesnt swoon for the Beatles or scream for the Stones. She doesnt protest the Vietnam War or fight for womens rights. Instead, from age seven to sixteen, she accompanies her father to a dilapidated barn on the edge of a dusty little town located on the outskirts of San Francisco, where she works after school, on weekends, and summers building a ship that is supposed to set her free. It is her fathers promise of one day sailing the ocean on a three-year, around-the-world adventure that keeps her going.
With the sixties and teenage torment as a backdrop, Unmoored is the parallel story of growth and redemption through the travails of a forty-four-foot schooner and the girl who helped guide it through storms, fire, near destitution and, ultimately, disaster, notwithstanding coping with a cold and moody father. But in the end, she learns that Heritages worth, like ours, is not measured in terms of where she landed nor by what others thought of her, but in the attempt to get somewhere better than where shed started. In that, she succeeded, and by default, so did we.
