Charting the Unknown (Behler Publications, $16.95) describes the adventures of Kim Petersen, a Colorado native who, at twenty years old, married college sweetheart, Mike. While at Trinity Western University outside Vancouver, British Columbia, the couple created a bucket list of achievements they hoped to accomplish before they died, including building a boat and sailing it across the Atlantic. The Petersens homeschooled their two children, started a construction company, built three custom homes themselves, and carved out a life in Cambridge, Ontario, Canada. After losing their second child to SIDS, Kim and Mike rediscovered their forgotten bucket list. Inspired, they decided to sell their belongings and take their two children, ages 14 and 11, on a boating adventure across the Atlantic aboard the 65-foot power catamaran, Chrysalis. Charting the Unknown describes Petersen’s journey of self-discovery as she travels the world with her young family. 7:30pm
