The "Y" of It, is a profoundly romantic adventure with runaways, real-life pirates, bats, plane crashes, the Bermuda Triangle, a private island, hurricanes, a ferro-cement boat named The Candy Apple, key lime pie, a very strange rooster, and even more. The attached-at-the-hip relationship between the author and his wife was special; their stories are real--- and they've left MacMillan's readers gasping with excitement, aching with fear, terrified by the unknown, howling with laughter, and amazed by the vagaries of fate.
