Review
“This very moving account of an adventurous risk-taking brother who is lost at sea will tear at your heart and force you to examine the choices you have made in your own life. Can you be true to yourself and your dreams? [Cathy Ostlere’s] … images are striking. The prose is full of raw emotion and the questions she asks are very courageous. You will be thinking about the book long after you have finished it.”
