MATTAPOISETT — Meet Mattapoisett resident Kimberly J. Ward, author of “Crew of Three: How Bold Dreams and Detailed Plans Launched Our Family’s Sailing Adventure” at the Mattapoisett Library on Sunday, Sept. 24, from 2 to 3 p.m.

The book is the story of Ward’s family’s decision to travel, the two years of planning to make it work, and the first several months they lived aboard, according to a press release.

“More than a mere guidebook, it is part memoir and part instruction manual for breaking free of the ordinary. Sailors and non-sailors alike, who seek to live an intentional life, a bit off the beaten path, will find both wisdom and inspiration in this family’s adventures,” wrote Ward in a press release. 

After a brief presentation at the library, there will be time for a Q&A. Signed copies of her book will be available for purchase. This event is free and open to the public. For more information, visit www.mattapoisettlibrary.org.
