On May 15, 2010, after 210 days at sea and more than 22,000
nautical miles, 16-year-old Jessica Watson sailed her 33-foot boat
triumphantly back to land. She had done it. She was the youngest
person to sail solo, unassisted, and nonstop around the world.
Jessica spent years preparing for this moment, years focused on
achieving her dream. Yet only eight months before, she collided
with a 63,000-ton freighter. It seemed to many that she'd failed
before she'd even begun, but Jessica brushed herself off, held her
head high, and kept going.
Told in Jessica's own words, "True Spirit "is the story of her epic
voyage. It tells how a young girl, once afraid of everything,
decided to test herself on an extraordinary adventure that included
gale-force winds, mountainous waves, hazardous icebergs, and
extreme loneliness on a vast sea, with no land in sight and no help
close at hand. "True Spirit "is an inspiring story of risk, guts,
determination, and achievement that ultimately proves we all have
the power to live our dreams--no matter how big or small.
