This book changed my life. I encouraged every reader in my family to read it and all were deeply affected. You will be hard pressed to take your life for granted after knowing what others have endured.

A testimony to the human spirit. Just to survive that long, lost in the ocean, would have made an amazing book. But to then go on to endure years of torture took an incredible stamina and love for life.

I was hooked from the first page. It was deeply moving.
