MembersReviewsPopularityAverage ratingConversations

On the island in Denmark where the oldest oak tree in Europe grows, a lone builder nicknamed "the perfectionist" crafted a boat with his hands. In 1936, the boat was finished and her journey began. Seventy years later, in Port Townsend, Washington--just minutes after a near catastrophe was averted in the marina outside her office window--Kaci Cronkhite opened an email. A Danish spidsgatter named Pax was for sale in Victoria, British Columbia. The journey that brought the two together became a quest that connected families in three countries with history that had been lost. What Kaci didn't know--what no one knew--was where and how far Pax had journeyed, what she survived those seven decades, and what those who loved her would always remember.On the island in Denmark where the oldest oak tree in Europe grows, a lone builder nicknamed "the perfectionist" crafted a boat with his hands.
