The Secret Crossing: One mother's daring voyage to save her baby, (Paperback)

1954-1963. From Mar del Plata to the Adriatic and back across the Atlantic, a young mother chooses the unthinkable: she will not end her pregnancy-she will steal the sea. With a borrowed berth and a borrowed courage, Adela slips out of Argentina, crosses to Italy, and gives birth in hiding, plotting a return that won't break her family-or her promise to her daughter. Along the way she finds an unexpected harbor in André, the captain who keeps watch while the wind and the world judge.<br>Told with the pull of a tide and the clarity of a confession, <b>The Secret Crossing</b> is a story about the price of keeping a child-and a secret-safe. It is about sisters and aunts who conspire in love, a marriage that learns the limits of denial, and a daughter whose life begins between a river and a sailboat. <p>This is a story of a mother's daring, a sailor's faith, and the quiet power of a promise kept. </p><p><b>Praise for The Secret Crossing: One mother's daring voyage to save her baby</b></p><p>"<b>Must read for anyone who experiences life in uncertain times.</b><b> </b>From the first chapter the reader is drawn into 1950's Argentina, as the story unfolds the reader feels the movement of the water as the boat glides on its voyage, unsuspecting where the tale will lead.
