Description
At just 16, Jessica Watson became the youngest person to sail solo, unassisted and non-stop around the world. Her incredible journey, which took 210 days and 24,285 nautical miles, has inspired countless people with its story of determination and perseverance.
In her own words, Jessica shares the challenges she faced, including a disastrous start to her voyage, sleep deprivation, and fierce storms. She reveals how she coped with the solitude and isolation of being alone on a vast sea, and how she overcame the obstacles that threatened to derail her dreams.
This is a powerful and inspiring memoir that proves that with hard work and dedication, anything is possible. True Spirit is a testament to the human spirit and a reminder that we all have the power to live our dreams, no matter how big or small they may seem.
