The warm-hearted Christie family take in orphan Rachel and raise her as one of their own. Like other fisherwomen, Rachel gathers bait, coils the lines, wades into the icy sea at dawn to launch the boat, carries full creels to the market - and dreams that one day she might have a house and family of her own.James, the handsome eldest Christie son, longs for a different way of life, more prosperous and more secure than fishing - he dreams of buuilding a fine stout ship that will cary him to the trading ports around the world. But his ambitions bring him into a near disastrous conflict with a local merchant.Set in the bustling fishing community of Footdee, The First Fair Wind is the first in a trilogy of novels that follows the fortunes of the Christie family.
