John and Jean Silverwood live with their family in California. [1]

Random House will keep you up to date on the works of Jean Silverwood! [2]

When John and Jean Silverwood, both experienced sailors, decided to give their four children a taste of life on the high seas, they hoped the trip would offer important learning experiences, not only about the natural world but about the beauty of human life stripped down to its essence, far from civilization. [3]

Successful businessman John Silverwood and his wife, Jean, both experienced sailors, decided the time was right to give their four children a taste of thrilling life on the high seas. [1]

In 2003, after two years at sea, the 55-foot catamaran sailed by the Silverwoods, a suburban California family that chucked it all to sail around the world, hit a reef off the South Pacific island of Scilly (now known as Manuae), putting the life of Jean and John and their four children (ages five to 16) in peril. [4]

Also available as a hardcover. [1]

Gradually, in the crucible of the sea, a stronger, more closely knit unit was forged. [5]

And indeed their journey aboard the fifty-five-foot catamaran Emerald Jane would have many extraordinary and profound moments, whether it was the peaceful late-night watches John enjoyed under the stunning celestial sky or the elation shared by the whole family at the sight of blissful pods of dolphin and migrating tortoises. [1]

John and Jean had hoped to use the trip as a teaching opportunity, with the Emerald Jane as a floating classroom in which to instruct their children in important lessons–not only about the natural world but about the beauty of human life when stripped down to its essence, far from the trappings of civilization. [5]

By juxtaposing the two tales, Jean illustrates how the children’s maturity and cohesiveness were not only a byproduct of the trip but also the keys to all the Silverwoods surviving their ordeal, especially John, who was critically injured by the falling mast. [4]

Also available as an eBook. [2]

When Californians John Silverwood and his wife Jean decided to take their four children on a sail around the world on their fifty-five-foot catamaran, Emerald Jane, they could not foresee the range of adventure that awaited them. [6]

John and Jean, whose marriage had weathered its share of storms, would wonder again if they had taken on too much as the physical, emotional, and financial strains of caring for the expensive catamaran and their children brought old resentments to the surface. [1]

And then, somehow, I felt calmer than I have ever felt. [2]

The first part of the book is written from Jean’s perspective as she opens with the wreck and then moves smoothly between the family’s fight for survival and the story of their journey. [4]

rocky juarez

Saturday, February 28th, 2009

Born Ricardo Rocky Juarez, the Houston native had his share of fights in the street growing up, but it wasn’t because of his name. [1]

Rocky Juarez enters a room quietly. [2]

Rocky Juarez beat Jorge Rodrigo Barrios (47-3-1, 34 KOs) by 11th round TKO on Saturday, September 6, 2008 at the Toyota Center in Houston, Texas. [3]

At 26-3 with 19 KOs, Juarez is on the brink of a world championship, and with each fight, the 2000 Olympic Silver Medalist is getting better, and his economical style is garnering the rave reviews he deserves. [1]

After being outboxed most of the fight Juarez dropped Barrios in round eleven and the fight was stopped due to a cut on Barrios’ lip. [3]

“I wasn’t called Rocky until I started boxing,” said Juarez. [1]

Judge Ken Morita’s scorecard showed a 114-114 draw but it was actually 115-114 for Barrera thus giving him the split decision victory. [3]

“My amateur career was somewhat the same as the beginning of my professional career,” said Juarez. [...] But what the featherweight contender does possess is confidence, a faith in his ability that has allowed him to get past the snubs of his earlier pro career, and silently enjoy the accolades he is receiving from all quarters now. [...] It wasn’t until I started boxing that people knew my middle name was Rocky. [...] My dedication to get the victory is what people want to see. [2]

Juarez cut over his left eye from an accidental head butt in round one was dominated and beaten by Juan Manuel Marquez in a 12-round unanimous decision on Saturday, November 3, 2007 at the Desert Diamond Casino in Tucson, Arizona. [3]

This time, Barrera outboxed Juarez and won a clear-cut decision, but Rocky still gained fans for his ‘never quit’ attitude and insistence on making a fight out of what turned into a boxing match. [1]

Juarez’s next fight will be a WBA Featherweight Title fight against Featherweight champion Chris John (42-0-1, 22 KOs) of Indonesia on Saturday, February 28, 2009 at the Toyota Center in Houston, Texas. [3]

It’s not always the flashy fighter that becomes a world champion, it’s the fighter that works hard, who is well skilled in the ring and knows how to take the pressure and go the distance. [1]

Like his immortal Peter Pan, Barrie never wanted to face the pain and unhappiness of the adult world. [1]

Barrie became world famous with his play and story about PETER PAN (1904), the boy who lived in Never Land, had a war with Captain Hook, and would not grow up. [2]

He is best remembered for creating Peter Pan, the boy who refused to grow up, whom he based on his friends, the Llewelyn Davies boys. [3]

If Sir James M. Barrie had written no play other than Peter Pan (1904), the extraordinary and enduring popularity of this single work would testify to his talents as a dramatist. [4]

The English dramatist, who hid a barbed wit and slightly mocking view of life beneath often cloyingly sentimental surfaces, was first represented in America by The Professor’s Love Story (1892) and Walker, London (1894). [1]

Sir James Matthew Barrie (1860-05-09 - 1937-06-19) was a Scottish novelist and dramatist, more commonly known as J. M. Barrie. [4]

At Dumfries he and his friends spent time in the garden of Moat Brae house, playing pirates ‘in a sort of Odyssey that was long afterwards to become the play of Peter Pan’. [3]

Jamie, as he was called, heard tales of pirates from his mother, who read her children adventure stories in the evenings. [2]

The British dramatist and novelist Sir James Matthew Barrie (1860-1937) is best known for his play Peter Pan. [4]

Even at his old age, Barrie could play enthusiastically Captain Hook and Peter Pan with the son of his secretary, Lady Cynthia Asquith. [2]

Barrie’s reputation as a dramatist was firmly established with productions of Quality Street (1901) and The Admirable Crichton (1902); both works possess charm and easy grace. [1]

Wendy Darling with her brothers accompany Peter Pan to Never Land where he lives with the Lost Boys, protected by a tribe of Red Indians. [...] James Matthew Barrie was born in the Lowland village of Kirriemuir, in Forfarshire (now Angus). [2]

James M. Barrie was born in Kirriemuir, Angus, Scotland, on May 9, 1860, the son of a poor, hardworking weaver. [4]
