Mystic Seafarer's Trail

A humorous and historical look at the haunts and homes of Mystic's famous sea voyagers, plus one woman's quest for a high seas adventure, easy fame, and a place to call home. While searching for the Seven Wonders of Mystic, Connecticut, with her beagle/basset hound, author Lisa Saunders uncovers the secrets behind the Titanic's shoes, Captain Sisson's hunt for gold, Amelia Earhart's Noank wedding, and Gloria, the regal, yet cranky, arthritic goose. But will she ever find an adventure of her own? One that will make her thin and famous? Enough to afford a housekeeper? When walking the Mystic Seafarer's Trail (which Lisa designed for those who don't like to go uphill), she meets a blind sailor who invites her on a long, winter voyage. Can this plump writer defy squalls, scurvy, and her fear of scraping barnacles to survive this epic journey?
