Woman Aboard

In 1851 Amanda Bright sails from Boston with her husband, Jonathan, captain of the merchant ship Maria M. Warned that it is no place for a woman, she finds instead a challenging new world, one she discovers a talent for. On the leg from Hawaii to North America, disease strikes, leaving Jonathan and the first mate delirious with fever. When a storm sweeps the last officer and a sailor overboard, Amanda is the only one left with even a novice's understanding of navigation. She must learn fast if she is to head off disaster - most immediately, mutiny by a crew that is superstitious of a woman aboard, and then, landfall. When Jonathan recovers and feels threatened by her growing independence, their marriage unravels. Amanda, Jonathan, and the crew are tested against treacherous circumstances in a suspenseful, psychological drama.
