"Sailing Grace is a thoroughly engaging book. Wise people have known forever that life is a near-death experience. The costumes of our lives can be suffocating and Otterbacher and his family shed theirs going to sea.They win big and we win along with them by reading the engrossing and perilous adventure story they made of their lives."

Jim Harrison, author, Legends of the Fall
