It is in this rollercoaster of experiences that we often find the heroes, the ones who face adversity head-on and refuse to give up. Such stories of courage, survival, and living the dream are not only inspiring but also serve as a reminder of the strength of the human spirit.

One such story begins with a young woman named Sarah Thompson. Born into poverty, she faced numerous challenges from an early age. Despite the hardships, Sarah had big dreams and an undying determination to make them come true. She understood that the path to success would not be easy, but that only fueled her resolve to never give up.

At the age of 18, Sarah found herself homeless, a circumstance that could have easily broken her spirit. However, she refused to let her circumstances define her. With the little money she had saved, she sought shelter in a small hostel and started working odd jobs to support herself.

In October, 2002 Charley Hester boarded a 46 foot sailboat with five people he had never met, for a 6 month, 15,000 mile voyage around South America by way of the Panama Canal, the Galapagos, Easter Island, Cape Horn, and the Falkland Islands. This book chronicles that adventure as the crew of Sea Wolf III ride the waves of emotion from extreme exhilaration to fear and despair while surviving numerous equipment failures, serious interpersonal conflicts, and danger that includes a near-tragedy near Cape Horn. It documents one man’s quest for validation and self-understanding, and demonstrates how “will” can enable ordinary people to realize extraordinary dreams.
