Reenie Gyse

Young Elof, a descendant of Norse gods, is retracing his father's voyage around the world in a magical wooden yawl, trying to make sense of why his father abandoned the family. When charming Reenie Gyse, an aging denizen of a city marina, draws Elof from his course, he's in danger not only of failing to come to grips with his heritage, but of losing his identity entirely.

A novella from award-winning author Katherine Starbird.

An eerie, tantalizing story reminiscent of The Odyssey

The surprise ending made me laugh out loud. A must read
