Cap't Deb,
A brief look around amazon brought these books up; is any the one you are trying to remember? Perhaps they may be good additions to the ship's library...
Also, thank you for your determination, inspiration, and good cheer. I am sure that I am not the only person who rarely posts but who is encouraged and strengthened by your posts. Thank you!
