Transcript

In this episode, Karen’s present-day journey along the English coast stirs powerful memories of her first encounter with the sea as a five-year-old girl. A dramatic Atlantic crossing on the Queen Mary reveals early glimpses of her adventurous spirit – a trait her mother would often attribute to her father, the war hero.

As Karen sails the waters of the English Channel, childhood memories begin weaving together with her growing curiosity about her father’s wartime journey to Brittany, France.
