In 1805, in Salem, Massachusetts, young John’s parents make the difficult decision to send their son off to learn the sailor’s trade aboard a merchant ship bound for Mocha, Yemen, to procure a lucrative cargo of the precious coffee beans that bejewel the Arabian mountains. Little do they know this voyage of a few months will become an epic saga of adventure, tragedy, discovery and longing. Based on a true story.
