Abstract

Acting as her father's assistant navigator on a high-sea adventure in 1836, Patience is discouraged when all the women and children are forced to go ashore as the ship heads into more dangerous waters, forcing Patience to enter a boarding school while learning to adjust to her new surroundings on her own.
