The Shell and the Octopus: A Memoir
This is the story of Rebecca Stirling's childhood: a young girl raised by the sea, by men, and by literature. Ushered through her young life by a father who loves adventure, women, and extremes, Rebecca befriends "working girls" in the ports they visit (as they are often the only other females present in the bars that they end up in) and, on the boat, falls in love with her crewmate and learns to live like the men around her. Circumnavigating the world on a thirty-foot sailboat, the Stirlings spend weeks at a time on the open ocean, surviving storms and visiting uncharted islands and villages.
Once she finally gets away from the boat and her dad and sets to work upon making her own dream a reality, But her driven nature and the role models in the books she reads make her determined to be a lady, continue her education, begin a career, live in a real home, and begin a family of her own.
