Red Sky in Mourning: A True Story of Love, Loss, and Survival at Sea [B0900]

2002 HCDJ 1st edition in nice clean condition. Picture yourself in a tropical climate, sailing out to sea with your fiancé. Life is perfect; you're young and in love. Then picture everything going horribly wrong. You inadvertently sail into a hurricane, you're injured, and you wake up to find that your loved one is gone. Your boat's motor is beyond repair and your masts have disappeared. Utterly alone, you're weeks from dry land. Red Sky in Mourning is the story of Tami Oldham Ashcraft's 41-day journey to safety, which she survived through fortitude and sheer strength of character. Interspersed with flashbacks to her romance with her doomed fiancé Richard, this survival story offers an inspiring reminder that even in our darkest moments we are never truly alone.

From recent-ish Amazon/GoodReads reviews: "Beautiful. So deep and introspective. It truly makes you feel something as any good book should. This is the type of literature that sticks with you and finds a place in your heart."; "Well written and touching story of loss and coping"; "A survival story rooted in emotional endurance. The heart of it isn't survival itself but the grief, fear & resilience that come along with."
