Produktbeschreibung
One woman's struggle for survival at sea on a forty-foot sailboat, Lady Alone is a tribute to those souls who have conquered their fears to overcome deteriorating calamities far beyond their limits. Joan Mackland, a twenty-three year old Kiwi with no previous sailing experience, makes a bold statement of independence by accepting the position as sole crew on a forty-foot sloop named, Atmosphere, bound from Guam to Hong Kong. On the high seas, life on board Atmosphere becomes routine, but in a nighttime storm in the middle of the Western Pacific Ocean the captain is lost overboard and Joan is thrown headlong into a desperate search that deteriorates into her own survival made more untenable by rookie mistakes that all but doom her and the boat. Shipwrecked on a deserted island, Joan is rescued by a local fisherman but rescue does not always equate to salvation. Authorities find illegal drugs on board and with the sailboat's captain missing, Joan is held under suspicion of murder and drug smuggling, unaware her freedom lies in a man she has never met.
