Living Life Sideways

She was sailing directly into the eye of a storm. But fighting the challenges at sea was nothing compared with her complex personal struggles on an intense journey to find self-valuation. When life forces you to make choices, you might be shocked to learn what one woman will endure to survive.

It describes one sailor’s odyssey to regain her sense of self when she realizes that her peace of mind is worth more than she could have ever imagined.

She is forced to battle her inner demons as she struggles to rediscover her personal strength and resolve.

You will feel her struggle between the exciting escape from the ordinary, the fascinating cultures and experiences of exotic destinations, the thrill of the voyage, and the toxic relationship that continues to unravel.

In terrifying and vivid detail, Michelle learns the hard way that the middle of the ocean is not the only place where split-second decisions can have deadly consequences.
