Summary: Return to the Sea
Review: Letters from the Sea takes the reader back to the turn of the century and lets them peak into the unique life of a sea captain and his family. Not only do the letters tell us of the trials and tribulations of being away from home and friends, they let us look into the warm relationship this family shared, despite being apart for years at a time. Parker Albee uses the treasure trove of actual letters from the Colcord's along with the Joanna's and Linc's later writings to put us on the deck of the State of Maine during a storm, socializing with other families in Hong Kong Harbor and waiting in Searsport for the family to come home. It is a wonderful story of the sea and of family.
