Pirate Girl Falls through Beaver Dam by Wren Godfrey Chapman
Pirate Girl Falls through Beaver Dam by Wren Godfrey Chapman
"Written by plucky Pirate Girl, madcap misadventures and bold exploits in the wilds of North America run amok in this non-stop memoir about her lessons in Earth School." Corabel Shofner, author of Almost Paradise
In 1968, why did a gently raised southern girl quit college, run away to sea, and join a scurvy crew of pirates, searching for sunken treasure and running contraband? Why did she allow the first mate to tie her in the crow’s-nest during a fierce tropical storm? Why did she flee the Bahamas in the cover of night, fall through a beaver dam during a Rocky Mountain blizzard, and hide out in a Colorado wilderness cave with her good dog, Rocky Raccoon?
Wren Godfrey Chapman told herself it was to escape the tragedy of the war in Vietnam and her failed engagement to the love of her young life. But then again, maybe it was to assuage her rebellious case of wanderlust.
With a strong female voice and sense of place in the Carolinas, Florida, Colorado, and the Bahamas, Pirate Girl Falls through Beaver Dam describes a lifelong process of discovery through the adventurous lessons of Earth School.
