This is a fictional account of one man, Andrew Winslow, and his journey through life. It is told in the first person and centers mainly around his adventures aboard the schooner, Lilly Mae. He discovers along the way his likes and dislike, his strengths and weaknesses and culminates in a better understanding as to who he really is as opposed to who he thought he was. It becomes, through Winslow finding himself, a mirror of ourselves.

This book should not be read by deeply devout parishioners of any church as it and is critical of church leaders and reflects religion in a lighthearted and whimsical way.
