An esoteric collection of fiction, non-fiction, and poetry about hope, recovery, and rescue wrapped in a maritime theme to benefit the Gulf Oil Spill Relief Fund. From high fantasy to a chapter from Rachel Carson's "The Sea Around Us" much of this collection was written in response to Hurricane Katirna. Some is an outpouring of grief over the damage to humans, wildlife, and landscape as oil pours into the mighty ocean killing more than we can count. All of it is inspiring.
