Red Sky in Mourning: The True Story of Love, Loss, and Survival at Sea


Overview

Picture yourself in a tropical climate, sailing out to sea with your fiance. 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 shot 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 fiance Richard, this survival story offers an inspiring reminder that even in our darkest moments we are never truly alone.

Reviews

Ashcraft emerges as a fiercely independent, strong sailor...The story certainly has enough adrenaline-pumping action to satisfy nautical adventure junkies. Call this book life-affirming, a saga of human survival, a tale of loss and victory, proof of the resilience of the human spirit--it's any of those and all of them. Amazing but true story of tragedy and survival at sea.


Amazing but true story of tragedy and survival at sea.
