STRONG HEART REVIEWS

"I'm in love with your book, savoring my life in it, days and nights, taking it to my dreams. The Place People Were, I know it. Been there. Makes me hungry, that old, old thing we carry, all of us: that knowing we were simpler, some way better, maybe, its sweetness...the shadows shift and I am more than who I was..." Laurel White, actress, audiobook narrator "A grand story, a coming of age story with a twist...if you love adventure, mystery...then this is a novel I would recommend." Kylee Hauth, 18

Adrift Reviews

“Grabs hold of you on the first page and won’t let go. Sheldon writes about the temperament and power of the sea as well as anyone I’ve ever read. Adrift was a pleasure to read.” (John Evison, best-selling author of West of Here and Lawn Boy)

“From the first page, Adrift swept me away to an adventure. Anchored in the hands of a great storyteller, the characters come alive on the pages making me care about them, the sea, the future and the past. I read every word. Get on board this truly fine novel!” (Jane Kirkpatrick, best-selling author of All She Left Behind.)

“From descriptions of handling a tug in heavy weather to launching a lifeboat from a burning ship, Charlie Sheldon’s years at sea show through as he recounts life and love, defeat and triumph in this exciting account of a salvage off the west coast of Haida Gwaii. The detailed technical accuracy is equaled by the sensitive descriptions of lives and loves in a small community on Washington’s Olympic Peninsula. All around Adrift is a fine and gripping tale.” (Alan Haig Brown, Canadian author and photographer. Among his books are Fishing for a Living, The Susie A, and The Fraser River)
