Ship Moms

Lust, love, and pregnancy--hidden from the luxury and leisure of cruise ships are the beautiful, complicated, true stories of crew members and the babies they brought into the world.

The lives of cruise-ship crew members don't stop when they are below deck. Ship Moms is a collection of behind-the scenes-stories about the relationships that bloom between crew members and all the wonderful mixed-nationality babies being brought into the world as a result, representing nearly forty countries and ten cruise lines. Here are the stories of these ship moms--stories of their strength, their endurance, and their tenacity in making it work against all odds. Beautiful and complicated, heartwarming and heart-wrenching, this collection spills the dirt on the ship life experience, telling real-life stories about connections that result in real-life babies.
