shortforsamantha 's review for:
Alone: Orphaned on the Ocean
by Richard Logan
I listened to “Alone” on audio, and enjoyed it as much as one cane enjoy a book on true crime.
If you have an interest in true crime but you’re worried about the gory details this is a good place to start. The mystery of what happened the night of the Bluebell tragedy and the survival of eleven year old Terry Jo Duperrault is unraveled between chapters of background research on the Duperrault family, and Captain Julian Harvey. Told through court transcripts and injection of what could have happened based on what they knew from Terry Jo’s testimony and what she saw that night.
I found my self inspired by the fortitude Terry Jo showed by surviving at sea on her own for four days.
There is some technical jargon, and if you don’t know anything about sailing you may find your self skimming; but overall the book is very well done and offers insight into the people and events that took place.
