About the Book Like many children, Joseph A. Proctor’s son has always had a drive to be more independent. He wants to grow up and do things on his own faster than his father would prefer. Jackson has many interests, but has always been fascinated with ships like the R.M.S. Titanic, and he wants to be the captain someday. Before he can “set sail” and go out on his own, Proctor wants to do everything he can as his son’s father, to prepare him for the world, but also teach him to be a generous, kind, empathetic, and hard-working person.
