Description

The inspiring true story of Jessica Watson's epic solo voyage around the world. After 210 days at sea and over 22,000 nautical miles, 16-year-old Jessica Watson sailed triumphantly back to land on May 15, 2010, becoming the youngest person to sail solo, unassisted, and nonstop around the world.

Jessica's journey was not without its challenges. Just eight months earlier, she had collided with a freighter, leading many to believe she had failed before she even began. However, she refused to give up, brushing herself off and continuing on her quest. This is her story, told in her own words, of how she overcame fear, gale-force winds, and extreme loneliness to achieve her dream.

True Spirit is a testament to the power of determination and the human spirit. It's a story of risk, guts, and achievement that will leave you in awe of Jessica's incredible journey.
