Nan Virginia Colwell was born and lived her growing up years during the 30s, 40s and 50s in a small town in northern New Brunswick, Canada. Those were difficult years for a young girl, living in conflict with race and religion, poverty, and issues dealing with the growth of a sleeping giant suddenly awakening from a devastating war that changed morals, faith and too much money too soon.

Her naivety and innocence were soon overcome as she slowly became educated in the school of hard knocks. Her life changed when, after a devastating start, she married into a wealthy family and moved to many Canadian Provinces. There were moves from one house to another, establishing no roots. Through it all, she managed to give her time as a volunteer to women in prison and street-kids, raising two children, and being hostess and companion for her husband who was Vice-President, General Manager of major companies, until it all fell apart.

Thus, in writing this volume and two more to come, she envisions her escape sailing as Skipper, a little red sailboat, taking her she knows not where. It is a voyage of mysticism, excitement, tragedy, depression, faith, beauty, wisdom, knowledge and unconditional love into the unknown.

She finds herself back again in her Maritime Roots where she, living alone, becomes involved with the Mi'kmaq and Acadians for 17 years. Then her husband returns.
