Deep Dark Blue: A Memoir of Survival

In the vast expanse of the Pacific Ocean, a young woman named Tami Oldham Ashcraft embarked on a harrowing journey that would test the limits of human endurance. Lost at sea for 11 months, Tami faced unimaginable challenges, including starvation, dehydration, and relentless storms. But through it all, she clung to hope and the unwavering belief that she would find her way home.

Deep Dark Blue is the unforgettable memoir of Tami's extraordinary ordeal. With raw honesty and vivid detail, Tami recounts the terrifying moments when their boat was capsized by a hurricane, leaving her and her fiancé, Richard Sharp, stranded in a life raft. As days turned into weeks and weeks into months, Tami and Richard faced unimaginable hardships. They survived on rainwater, raw fish, and even their own urine. They battled exhaustion, hallucinations, and the constant threat of sharks. But through it all, Tami never gave up hope.

Tami's story is a testament to the human spirit's ability to overcome adversity. It is a story of courage, resilience, and the power of hope. Deep Dark Blue is a must-read for anyone who has ever faced a challenge or who simply wants to be inspired by the incredible strength of the human spirit.
