Verity yearns to follow her dreams, but how can she jump ship now? The problem, and perhaps the answer, lies with Jude. Now Maeve is pregnant again and something’s amiss. Maeve and Arthur Vergennes already suffered one loss when, five years earlier, their eldest son, Jude, stormed out and never returned. But Verity’s had it with being tied to the ship and secretly applies to a distant college. The ship-an oyster boat transformed into a make-believe destroyer-is the heart of the Vergennes family, a place both to play and to learn responsibility. Eighteen-year-old Verity Vergennes is the captain of the USS Nepenthe, and her seven younger siblings are her crew. From the Amazon Charts and Washington Post bestselling author of True Places comes a disarming and emotional novel about a family in distress and a daughter’s mission to keep it from going under.
