Haunted by ghosts of the past, she was sailing directly into the eye of a storm. But fighting the challenges at sea was nothing compared with her complex personal struggles on an intense journey to find self-valuation.

Determined to complete the life-changing odyssey, in book two of her Living Life Sideways series, Michelle Segrest’s focus turns to an extraordinary effort to salvage her crumbling relationship with a masterfully manipulative skipper. She must find a way to navigate a confusing and chaotic battle between her own loyalty and the extreme betrayal she suffers at the hands of a dangerous narcissist.

She is torn between the exciting escape from the ordinary, the fascinating cultures and experiences of exotic destinations, the thrill of the voyage, and the toxic relationship that continues to unravel. Her only source of comfort is her two devoted beagles, Cap’n Jack and Scout. A dramatic, three-week Atlantic crossing will test the skill and resolve of the novice sailor as she is forced to make a decision about whether the consequences of moving forward are worth it.

In this powerful account of a woman’s attempt to overcome enormous obstacles, Segrest charts an epic journey combining an individual’s survival story with a fascinating sailing journal. And by sharing her deepest anxieties and raw experience of life on deck, you’ll witness how one sailor’s increasing nightmare turns into a soul-searching quest for meaning.
