Description
At just seven years old, Suzanne Heywood embarked on a three-year voyage around the world with her parents and brother, setting sail on a seventy-foot yacht that would become her home for over fifty thousand miles. What followed was a decade-long journey of survival, marked by storms, shipwrecks, and isolation, with little formal schooling or stability.
As Suzanne fought to return to England and education, she found herself at the mercy of her parents and the vast ocean. Yet, she refused to give up, using her determination to educate herself and eventually earning an interview at Oxford University. This memoir is a gripping account of her astonishing upbringing, a story of survival, resilience, and the power of the human spirit.
