Yet, confident in her love and her husband’s seamanship, Eleanor insisted on going along. Joan Druett...

It took me a long time to write this relatively short book. The subject is complex. This is intended to be the sequel to a previous book I wrote years ago, “Thai Women -What a Foreign Man Should Know.” Time has passed and my perspectives have changed. Living in Thailand can do that.
