I Want To Go Home: Reclaiming Power After Sexual Assault

“WHATEVER HAPPENS, I’M GOING TO SURVIVE.”

With no experience, a brave young woman pushes herself out of her comfort zone when she agrees to join a sailing expedition from Gibraltar to Thailand.

A health crisis, serious mechanical failures, and a category five cyclone — everything begins to go terrifyingly wrong, triggering the deeply buried trauma of a sexual assault.

As she quickly adapts to life at sea, she begins to reclaim the power that was stolen from her and to break the silence.

Those who dream of adventure will enjoy every discovery in this inspiring true story. If you have an instinct to run and a longing to return to a place of safety, you will find this book a gentle, supportive and loving call to action reflecting on what ‘home’ really means.
