Porpoise in Quicksilver: Chronicles of a High-liners Wife (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781515364412)

The mother of four boys and a young daughter, Bailey lives a contented life with her husband Ty. So it comes as a shock when Ty announces he's quitting his well-paid desk job, buying a boat, and joining a fleet of long-distance Californian troll fishermen.

The boys think it's the greatest idea their dad's ever had. Jenny, the toddler, is traumatized by the move. And Bailey? After desperately trying to talk Ty out of the decision, she finds herself forced to adapt to the life of a fisherman's wife, watching the waves and hoping the ocean delivers Ty safely home.

Secretly, she hopes he'll abandon this foolish scheme in a few months.

But Bailey's underestimated Ty's determination. Comforted and supported by the seasoned spouses she meets, she finds herself helping Ty cope with a rapidly changing industry facing both business and political challenges, as well as the ever-present threats of the Pacific.

So far, Bailey's resisted the urge to follow her husband out onto the waves. But to truly understand Ty, she's going to have to face the ocean with him-fishing by his side.

She's just not sure she's up to the task.
