"Who Bravely Dares"
 © 2004 by Filbert Publishing
Kathryn Mackenzie wants nothing more than to return home to America
after serving five years as a missionary teacher in India.
She and her charge, Sarah Louise (Sparky) Maintriff, an orphaned six-year-old,
board a tramp steamer bound for Hawaii.
On the way, the vessel catches fire and sinks,
shipwrecking Kathryn, Sparky, and two other passengers:
an American ex-marine from Wyoming and his British friend.
Marooned on an uninhabited island, these four strangers must somehow forge a life
even while they battle hardship and deprivation, face unseen dangers, and figure out how to get home.
"Who Bravely Dares" is a rich story of human triumph over adversity,
with touches of fantasy, romance, and history to add spice.
