About a book that i have not read...... Star Crossed, By Linda Collison


Title: Star Crossed
Reading Level: Young Adult
Pages: 416
Publisher: Knopf Books for Young Readers (November 14, 2006)
Plot: After the death of her father, an English gentleman who had never married her mother, Patricia must leave the boarding school where she has lived for 10 years. Penniless but determined to claim her father's estate in Barbados, she Stowe's away on a ship bound for the Caribbean. Though her plans go awry, Patricia discovers friendship, romance, marriage, love, danger, courage, self-reliance, and the satisfaction of a useful trade. She finds her sol mate early in the story, but because he cannot support her, she must accept the proposal of a man she does not love. A recurring theme is Patricia's dressing as a man, first for the freedom of climbing the ship's rigging and later for the necessity of earning her living in a man's profession. Told in the first person, this seafaring saga features a heroine who longs for both independence and love.
