This story revolves around the themes of love, sacrifice, and the struggles of life at sea as it follows Faith Holt, who is on the cusp of her marriage to the seasoned whaling captain, Noll Wing. As she moves from the familiar comforts of her childhood home into the harsh realities of a whaling life, Faith grapples with her evolving identity as a wife and the challenges of her new life. At the start of the novel, the narrative sets the stage for Faith's wedding day and her complex feelings about leaving her home and father, Jem Kilcup. In the warm, intimate atmosphere of the old house, we see Faith's fondness for simplicity and familiarity contrasted by her excitement and contentment in marrying Noll. As Faith transitions from her old life to the ship's new reality aboard the "Sally Sims", the opening emphasizes her love for Noll while foreshadowing the challenges that lie ahead, including the growing tensions and dangers of life at sea. The dynamics of her relationships with Noll, her family, and other crew members hint at deeper conflicts that will unfold as the voyage begins.
