 .</span></p>\n<p>Summary provided by the publisher:</p>\n<p>The electrifyi
 ng true story of a young couple shipwrecked at sea: a mind-blowing tale of
  obsession\, survival\, and partnership stretched to its limits.</p>\n<p>M
 aurice and Maralyn make an odd couple. He's a loner\, awkward and obsessiv
 e\; she's charismatic and ambitious. But they share a horror of wasting th
 eir lives. And they dream&mdash\;as we all dream&mdash\;of running away fr
 om it all. What if they quit their jobs\, sold their house\, bought a boat
 \, and sailed away?</p>\n<p>Most of us begin and end with the daydream. Bu
 t Maurice began to study nautical navigation. Maralyn made detailed lists 
 of provisions. And in June 1972\, they set sail. For nearly a year all wen
 t well\, until deep in the Pacific\, a breaching whale knocked a hole in t
 heir boat and it sank beneath the waves.</p>\n<p>What ensues is a jaw-drop
 ping fight to survive on the wild ocean\, with little hope of rescue. Alon
 e together for months in a tiny rubber raft\, starving and exhausted\, Mau
 rice and Maralyn have to find not only ways to stay alive but ways to get 
 along\, as their inner demons emerge and their marriage is put to the grea
 test of tests. Although they could run away from the world\, they can't ru
 n away from themselves.</p>\nhttps://lacountylibrary.libnet.info/event/171
