From the Publisher:
Based on the true story of Mary Patten, "The Captain’s Wife" begins in 1856 –the heyday of the great clipper ships- on the treacherous voyage from New York to San Francisco through one of the most dangerous straits in the Western Hemisphere: Cape Horn. Early on, trouble erupts on the ship. The first mate is put in chains for plotting a mutiny and the captain falls ill, forcing Mary to take command of the ship. Having learned how to navigate during her last voyage with her husband, Mary must put her skills, authority, and wits to the test as she demands respect from the crew, nurses her husband day and night, and keeps the mutinous first mate at bay.

Using little-known facts about Mary Patten’s life, Douglas Kelly has crafted a brilliant and gripping tale of deception, danger, and treachery on the high seas.
