In 1983, Tami Oldham and her fiancé Richard set sail across the Pacific, embarking on what should have been an idyllic voyage. Instead, they sailed directly into one of the most catastrophic hurricanes in history. What follows is an extraordinary true story of survival against impossible odds.

Left alone and adrift in a crippled yacht, thousands of miles from land, Tami must summon every ounce of courage and resourcefulness to navigate her way to safety. This is a gripping account of human resilience, charting both the physical ordeal of surviving at sea and the emotional journey of coping with devastating loss.

Raw, intimate and ultimately inspiring, this memoir captures the indomitable strength of the human spirit when faced with nature's most unforgiving forces.
