    About this ebook

    Karen Parsons, Port Chaplain in Galveston, Texas, writes lovingly about seafarers as people whose job, in many cases, promotes loneliness, desperation, and a sense of having been abandoned. She weaves her own spiritual journey and the lives and spiritual journeys of seafarers she has met as port chaplain into a book that opens their world to our understanding.
