Windshifts

Have you ever dreamed of running away to a tropical island? In 1996 Jane Grossman left behind a comfortable life in Chicago and set off on with her husband on their 34-foot sailboat Iniki to sail South America. What began as a chance to simplify their lifestyle and to see the islands gradually evolved to a sojourn of self-discovery renewal and triumph over breast cancer. Windshifts is a true sailing adventure that chronicles the wonder and excitement the difficulties and fears from a woman's perspective. Vivid details and delightful descriptions of exotic lands cultural interactions and inevitable conflicts of a husband and wife confined to close quarters involve the reader with all of their senses. More importantly it is a reflection on dealing with the unexpected challenges that confront us all throughout our lives.
