Event Details
We're partnering with Griffin Bay Bookstore to present a reading by local author Jon Howe. Jon grew up along the Gulf Coast of Florida. A few years after college, he moved to the Pacific Northwest, got his captain's license, and has been sailing ever since. He now lives and writes on San Juan Island.
Shanghaied tells the story of New Englander Eaman McGrath, who was shanghaied in the fall of 1810 to work aboard a merchant vessel. He is profoundly changed by a journey filled with cruelty and loss, and displays extraordinary perseverance, as he discovers the world and much about others and himself. What will he find if he make it home again?
