Once Upon a Gypsy Moon

Michael Hurley

Michael Hurley watched his world unravel in the wake of infidelity divorce and failure. In August 2009 he was short of money out of a job and seeking to salvage a life that had foundered. Deeply in need of perspective he took to the open seas in a 32-foot sailboat Gypsy Moon. The story of his 2-year outward odyssey deterred by rough weather and mechanical troubles combines keen observation poignant thoughts and deeper introspection with glorious prose.

Once Upon a Gypsy Moon also presents a rare and much-needed point of view on the familiar spiritual-journey narrative. It offers a star-crossed love story wrapped inside a rollicking good sea tale but it also has something important to say to the reader about relationships faith and disbelief life and death love and marriage and what really matters.
