Synopsis
Tere Duperrault was 11 years old when her family was murdered at sea aboard a rented sailboat off the coast of Florida. She jumped overboard just in time to escape. Surviving four days on a piece of cork in the middle of the ocean, Tere's rescue pictures graced LIFE Magazine soon after her rescue. This is the first time Tere has ever been able to tell her story fully. Oprah reunited her in September 1988 with the freighter captain who saved her but even then, she was not healed enough to reveal what it takes to survive for four days adrift alone at sea. Co-authored by renowned psychologist and survival expert Richard Logan, readers delve into the details of how a little girl survived the murder of her family; the pod of whales who guarded her; the aftermath and the recapturing of life. The ultimate inspirational tale of good winning over evil.
