life of poverty by dressing as a boy and getting a job as a sailor. Jacky’s
nautical adventures have brought her nearly around the world and finally back
home to her business office in Boston. She has remained faithful (well, mostly

not been as triumphant as she had anticipated and troubles loom. Will Jacky
finally go too far and lose Jamie?

in the underworld forever?
