Victoria
Farnsworth, nee VanPelt, grew up on Bainbridge during the 1950s and 60s.
Although Farnsworth now lives in Arizona, she has written several books about
her life on Bainbridge. Her first book,
Welcome Aboard (2014),
relates the first eight years of life on the island and gives a wonderful
glimpse of island living in the 1950s. Farnsworth's second book
Full
Steam Ahead (2014) and her third book
Tossing To and Fro (2014) continue
the narrative. Her fourth book
Changing Tide: California Dream or
Nightmare? (2014) covers Farnsworth's teenage years in California. Most
recently, Farnsworth has written a fiction series for young adults,
called
Rebecca Bridges, Amateur Sleuth. The first book in the series
is
More Than Just a Prank (2017). The soon-to-be published
fourth Rebecca Bridges book is called
Mystery at Agate Pass.
