Going Bananas: My Trailing Career (Volume 1)
Europe is the largest consumer of bananas on the planet, but what is the true price of bananas? Pauline Isabel Dowling found out when she took a container ship to New Zealand.

Sleeping with the Captain: My Trailing Career (Volume 2)
In Sleeping with the Captain, Pauline Isabel Dowling resumes her trailing career, this time aboard the MV Scottish Star with her husband, Captain Stuart MacCormick Ross. His job is to deliver deciduous fruit while keeping the ship, the crew, and the cargo in good order.
Not a sex manual, then.

I Would Like to Have Been a Nun: The Story of Isabel Cecily Dowling
Based on the diary her family kept in her final years, the story of Isabel Cecily O’Regan (1907-95) highlights the lottery that is care of the elderly and infirm today. Hers is the story of her family’s arrival in New Zealand, the power of the clergy, women’s health – particularly mental health – and how few choices women had before the pill.

About My Trailing Career
Other people have written about fruit boats, but none have been travelling wives, or as the author calls going to work with her husband, My Trailing Career. Over the course of a tour of duty she takes the reader to some interesting places, meets a number of memorable people and shines a light on the otherwise unseen world of shipping which brings most of the food and goods we consume to our shores.
