The Black Swan by Christina Moore Corporate veteran Margaret Noonan flees her job and her comfortable marriage to pursue freedom and a bond to her past on the coast of Maine. As a cook aboard the schooner, Black Swan, she prepares meals for a sour crew and disappointed passengers. "I didn't have a place to go. I didn't have a soul that needed me. The song of freedom can be a lament if you view freedom as a loss of connection. A tall mast is an easy place to have such thoughts." Christina Moore spins a twenty-first century nautical yarn where her heroine descends from the warmth of the Black Swan's galley to discover its murky depths where secrets of smuggling and murder lie. But her survival depends on her determination to redefine freedom and return to her native home.
