Stormy seas, placid waters, tropical islands, confusion, and learning to love—all contained within...

​

Alone Against the Sea is the gripping story of a young man's struggles to survive a tragic accident aboard a sailboat he is ill-equipped to sail, but it is more than a tale of survival. It is truly about him alone, struggling to confront a stubborn youthful history that has formed his personality—and left him unprepared to do what is necessary to survive.

Reading the book, then, is a journey you take with him, navigating the challenges of life at sea and the profound changes that come about. His growth in maturity, understanding of loving relationships, and self-confidence are the focus of his journey. With him, you get to intimately feel what it's like to sail on this adventure upon the natural wonders of the sea, serving as an exceptional literary look at what is personal growth under intense pressure.

While focused on a teenager's coming of age (both male and female), it is highly relevant to readers beyond the teen years as well, since we are all continually evolving into various stages of our lives. This fluid aspect of human nature is a common facet of life that any reader can identify with throughout the book's events, making it a wonderful addition to your list of personal growth books.

The careful reader will also note the story is a candid endorsement of the strength and intelligence of the female gender, at all ages, exploring how adversity shapes human behavior and unlocks deep inner resilience.

Alone Against the Sea is available in both ebook and paperback formats.
