Her debut memoir "Rescued," published in July 2025, tells the story of her first great adventure: four years of isolation in an abandoned outport on Newfoundland's Forgotten Coast as a young mother in the early 1970s.This memoir is the first in her "Journeys Trilogy", which follows her life from sea to sand to snow. Today, Neill writes from her home on the shores of Lake Simcoe, Ontario, where she lives with her partner, Walter Beck, and continues to draw inspiration from her now-grown children, whose own adventures on tall ships encouraged her to chase her dreams.
