A novel by

 
 
When a woman gets to a certain age, everyone forgets that she has a long and vibrant life behind her. Molly is no different; at sixty-five, the residents of Shipwreck Key see her as just the proprietress of The Scuttlebutt, the island's coffee shop. But Molly has lived—really lived—and she has the battle scars to prove it.

In 1982, when her beloved husband Rodney died in a boating accident off the coast of Hawaii, Molly was left a widow in her early twenties. But not only was she left to live without her best friend and life partner the day his boat vanished, her hopes and dreams to travel the world were dashed as well.

An accomplished and daring sailor, Molly had planned to travel the world for a year with Rodney, stopping in every port and soaking in the rich beauty of foreign places. But with him gone, could she find the strength and the fortitude to do it alone? Could she captain her own ship, sail the open seas, and conquer both danger and the unknown as she visited every port they'd planned to drop anchor in together?

Even as the women of the Marooned With a Book club listen to Molly's wild tale of adventure, passion, and romance, it's almost impossible for them to believe that salt-of-the-earth Molly once traveled the world by her wits, surviving on nothing but curiosity and the memory of her lost love. But—with any luck at all—everyone gets there someday; each of us end up looking at the most adventurous parts of our lives in the rearview mirror...the goal is to look back and see it all as the rich experience it was, and not with regret or longing.
