On 9/11, USN Commander Suzanne Giesemann was aboard a military
aircraft as it flew over the just-demolished Twin Towers. As aide to
the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, she strode beside him
through the still-smoldering Pentagon. All those lives gone in an
instant, robbed of the chance to live their dreams: would she and her
Naval captain husband get to live their own dream? Come along as
Suzanne and Ty leave it all behind, seeking and then sailing Liberty to
remote fjords as they adapt to the cruising life, meet the challenges
of rough weather and a medical emergency at sea-and ultimately
question whether this dream could-or should-last a lifetime.
"Whether you are an aspiring cruiser or simply a lover of well-told stories about
well-lived lives of exploration and adventure, Living A Dream should be the one
sailing yarn you read this year."
