WHAT READERS ARE SAYING
I really enjoyed this book. I started reading it for the sailing adventure aspect....but ended up getting so much more out of it. B.RICH
First book I've read in years that I literally couldn't put down - great story. AMAZON CUSTOMER
Simple honesty of the best and rarest kind. If this book were a bell it would ring loud and sweetly and our hearts would resonate just as sweetly, just as poignantly. This book is the story we need to hear. A story of hope, of failure and the truths that only failure brings, and of hope regained and triumph on one's own terms. KEN STEPHENS
I read it in one sitting, and if there's an ounce of longing for freedom and adventure left in your heart, so will you. BORDER CORSAIR
I have a feeling reading Neil's book will be a life changer for me. He is right, there is more to life than this. R.N.SCOTT
