Becoming Grace

Losses at sea bring shadows to an otherwise idyllic childhood, but everything Grace learns growing up on the coast is put to the test in 1838, when The Forfarshire is wrecked on the Harcar Rock, and she has to row out through the storm to the rescue. 
Particularly suitable for readers aged 9+ with a reading age of 8.
