Girl At Sea - A Coming of Age Tale

Girl at Sea is a dark, urban fantasy, coming-of-age novel.

“No use looking back. There’s no family or friends to wave goodbye to. This is not our home anymore, and it’s likely we’ll never be back.”  --- Beth Portman


Girl at Sea
Death sets Beth and Silas on a journey they cannot refuse.

Two people, vastly different but with a common thread binding them together, set off on a voyage of discovery and adventure…

When 14-year-old Beth Portman’s parents are killed in a suspicious fire, she finds herself cast adrift in more ways than one. 

Teaming up with her old sailing mentor and ex-Navy Seal, Silas Tuft, who is himself grieving for a family lost to violence, they sail the seas of the South Pacific, seeking a way to endure their respective pain and grief. But Death hadn’t finished with either her or Silas yet and he sets them on a journey they are unable to refuse.

Encountering her old friend Judy, who is escaping from her vile and abusive father, Beth and Silas finally understand what Death wants from them as the parallel tracks of their lives are guided towards one small act of revenge, atonement, justice or murder, depending on how one looks at it, that will set them free of their guilt and grief.

Thankfully her family friend Silas, a 45-year-old former Navy SEAL who lives on his boat, steps in and saves her from a life in foster care. But before they can sail away, Beth is forced to learn some harsh lessons about the darker side of human nature. As they sail around the world, death and danger seem to follow them, along with a black albatross that mostly flies above their boat unseen.
