Ia Ora Na! I'm pitching "Laughing at the Sky," an 83,000-word memoir. On a five-year, 12,000-nautical-mile odyssey, I sailed a small boat to the Polynesian Bay of Virgins to discover the wisdom of remote island societies and rise above PTSD from childhood rape, attempted murder, and my mother’s madness. A tribe of gutsy women guided my journey, including a “third-gender” leader in the matrilineal archipelago of Guna Yala, Panama; a sailboat captain who finished two world-circumnavigations with all-female crew; and a therapist who climbed near the “death zone” of Mount Everest. Far beyond #MeToo, it offers a fresh, optimistic perspective on transcending the stories we carry to live bold dreams.
