When Roz Savage walked away from her comfortable management consultant career, she embarked on one of the most extraordinary adventures imaginable: rowing solo across the Atlantic Ocean. This gripping account chronicles her 103-day journey from the Canary Islands to Antigua, battling 20-foot waves, equipment failures, and the psychological demons that emerge in complete isolation.

With raw honesty and surprising humour, Savage shares the reality of ocean rowing—the salt sores, the sleep deprivation, the moments of despair and transcendence. More than just an adventure tale, this is a profound exploration of what drives someone to test their limits and redefine their life. It's an inspiring reminder that extraordinary achievements often begin with a single, courageous decision to abandon the safe path.
