What Is This Book About?

One family... One dream... Against all odds!

A gripping account of one family’s courage to live their dream!  A true story…

A 17-year-old immigrates to North America from war-ravaged Croatia. He only expects to find work and shelter but  discovers he is free to live his dream in his new homeland, Canada, the land of opportunity

He marries the love of his life and at the age of 24 they embark with their baby on an impossible dream: a sailing expedition through the South Pacific retracing the footsteps of Captain Cook. They were last seen sailing toward the South Pacific with a stack of how-to-sail books by their side.

The rules of civilization no longer apply once they leave the security of North America. Survival takes on a whole new meaning. Their lives are flung upside down when they confront illness, pregnancy, cannibals, sharks, killer eels, and violent storms.

Not only is this an adventurous account of human survival, it is a heart-warming remembrance of the immigrant’s childhood and his relationship with his father.

In Search of Love, Adventure & Riches is the first episode in The Unsinkable Spirit series of the King family’s twenty-year odyssey. Be prepared for it to grab your heart and send your spirits soaring to new heights!
