This is the story of John Searancke's parents, told mostly from the side of his father, Eddie Searancke, from the time of his calling up in early 1940 to his release from a prisoner of war camp in Germany in 1945, thence his return to England to try to pick up the pieces of his old life. Nothing could ever be quite the same afterwards.

Adventure and Heartache on the High Seas
Revisado: 01-18-17
If you could sum up Fourteen in three words, what would they be?
A sailing adventure about a young girl's struggles with her father...and the sea.
What was one of the most memorable moments of Fourteen?
Leslie is an excellent writer and many of her passages pulled me into the story. Here is one that really stood out for me: “The hatch closed, leaving me alone (at the helm) again. The world of stars and ocean took over my heart and soul. The comforting sound of the ocean sloshing against the hull filled my ears as the boat pushed forward.
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
Yes, although I rarely have that luxury.
