SUMMARY:Daytime Book Club: A Marriage at Sea
DESCRIPTION:Come join the Daytime Book Club as we discuss this month's bo
 ok! New members are always welcome (we love meeting new people!). Regist
 ration is appreciated but not required.\n\nThis month we will discuss A 
 Marriage at Sea by Sophie Elmhirst. The description for the book is belo
 w:\n"The electrifying true story of a young couple shipwrecked at sea: a
  mind-blowing tale of obsession\, survival\, and partnership stretched t
 o its limits. Maurice and Maralyn make an odd couple. He's a loner\, awk
 ward and obsessive\; she's charismatic and ambitious. But they share a h
 orror of wasting their lives. And they dream--as we all dream--of runnin
 g away from it all. What if they quit their jobs\, sold their house\, bo
 ught a boat\, and sailed away?\n\nMost of us begin and end with the dayd
 ream. But Maurice began to study nautical navigation. Maralyn made detai
 led lists of provisions. And in June 1972\, they set sail. For nearly a 
 year all went well\, until deep in the Pacific\, a breaching whale knock
 ed a hole in their boat and it sank beneath the waves. What ensues is a 
 jaw-dropping fight to survive on the wild ocean\, with little hope of re
 scue. Alone together for months in a tiny rubber raft\, starving and exh
 austed\, Maurice and Maralyn have to find not only ways to stay alive bu
 t ways to get along\, as their inner demons emerge and their marriage is
  put to the greatest of tests. Although they could run away from the wor
 ld\, they can't run away from themselves.\n\nTaut\, propulsive\, and daz
 zling\, A Marriage At Sea pairs adrenaline-fueled high seas adventure wi
 th a gutting love story that asks why we love difficult people\, and who
  we become under the most extreme conditions imaginable."\n\nWe look for
 ward to seeing you all soon!\n\n\nInterested in attending a future Dayti
