Summary
Sal lives a double life, half at sea as her father's cabin boy and half at a fine finishing school, until her father sells his ship and her hand in marriage. Roland, her new husband, intends to free them all from their debtor, his manipulative older brother, but Sal won't be left behind, not when he doesn't know about her cabin boy persona. As Roland proves himself as a new captain, he might just gain the trust of the bride he thought he left behind. Around the continent, past pirates and griffins, Sal won't stop until she finds a way to be herself--both of them. A retelling of Shakespeare's play, As You Like It, this is a no-spice adventure story with just a hint of fantasy. Christie Valentine Powell wrote her first story in second grade, and she has been writing ever since. Her other hobbies include making toys, hobby farming, and eating at Asian buffets. She lives near the sunniest city in the world with her husband, children, and many critters.
