The Family Ship by Sonja Yoerg


This is the beautiful story of a family of 10 who lives on a small island just off the east coast. The oldest son, Jude, left the family under hard circumstances. Now the second oldest, Verity (LOVE the name!) is ready to take the next step in her life and go to college. However with seven brothers and sisters at home Verity is torn because her pregnant mother needs help with the family.

The family also has a boat in their yard that is more than just a playhouse for the kids. They have order and roles and go on amazing adventures.

The story has a Swiss Family Robinson feel with the boat and the older children taking care of the younger children. I loved the family. When they family has the worst possible thing happen, they have to try to adapt to a new way of life. I really felt Verity’s hard choice to between herself or her family.

This is a wonderful book for anyone who loves family stories and healing, both new and old wounds.

This is the second book I’ve read by this author. The first was Stories We Never Told, published in May 2020. After enjoying my first book by Sonja, I was thrilled to receive an advanced copy of The Family Ship in exchange for my honest opinion. I enjoy Sonja’s writing style and stories. This book is one you will want to watch out for when it published on 23February!
