How would your life change if you went on a wild, family adventure?
When Tina and her family embark upon a travel journey into Africa, she expects things to go smoothly and yet events go horribly wrong. She becomes flabbergasted from the wild adventure, laughing and crying all at the same time.
An adventurous safari becomes perilous when wild animals threaten the family's safety. On down the road, a thumb is sacrificed, the kids disappear on the water, a bag of gold is lost, and more. Even great white sharks contribute to the chaos.
Events escalate when Tina's sons bring along two friends who upset the family balance on an adventurous journey across the Atlantic Ocean. Mutiny seems imminent.
Long periods of Tina's quiet reflection force hidden secrets to the surface: sexual assault, rape, guilt, and mental illness. She begins to heal and finds recovery from the memories when she witnesses women suffering from far worse dramas like poverty and war.
Rogue waves and storms roll in while at sea. When Tina begins to deal with a mysterious health problem, the perils of life at sea become very real.
Half running towards a dream, Tina met her husband and the two of them decided to live a life at sea. Unlike many people who move aboard and sail the world for a year or two, the Dreffin family never went back ashore.
Tina Dreffin's debut memoir is a masterclass of adventure and travel, sure to please all lovers of funny, humorous travel, and journeys about healing and recovery.
This story is candid, moving, heartfelt and beautifully written. What sets it aside from other sailing memoirs is that it is about so much more than the journey. Tina writes about memoir topics such as the loss of a child and the challenges of motherhood in such a way that are naturally woven into the narrative. They add a layer of complexity and strength to the story, making it universal and enjoyable to those who have been to sea and those who haven’t.
“Tina’s writing is lucid and descriptive." Melanie Neale, author of bestselling Boat Girl.
"What an inspirational, emotional, spiritual, and physical journey." Diann Vanhook, director.
