History on Tap: "Tales of the Sea "

Author Cynthia Elder shares the remarkable true story behind her historical novel series, Tales of the Sea — The Journey Begins and The Drumbeats of War. Based on unpublished ship’s logs and letters, the books bring to life a 19th-century Cape Cod sailing family during the Great Age of Sail and the Civil War. Praised by Kirkus Reviews, the series captures the voices of men and women whose lives were shaped by the sea and the shifting tides of a divided nation.
