THE FAMILY SHIP by SONJA YOERG
My Rating: ★★★★
“Family is not an important thing, it is Everything!”
The Family Ship! What can I say more? The title says it all!
A lovely and beautifully written story about family and its importance in each of our lives through the lives of the Vergennes. Narrated across the versions of each of the nine Vergennes children and their mother Maeve, it covers the entire journey of this family.
The ship—an oyster boat transformed into a make-believe destroyer, USS Nepenthe —is the heart of the Vergennes family, a place both to play and to learn responsibility. Each of the children have their own dreams, thoughts and struggles. But when tragedy and disaster strike the family, they come together, fight, struggle and face all the hardships as one family. And most importantly discover the value and love for each other.
An amazing and touching read!
