In Miya's Wake: A Sea Story Based on Eighty-Year-Old Sakaye Hatashita's Pacific Odyssey
How far would you go to keep your word to the one you love?
Eighty-year-old Sakaye Hatashita's life as he knows it is over. His wife, Shizuko, is dead, and his bold promise to return her ashes from California to her family in Japan is unfulfilled.
With his honor at stake, he vows to sail alone halfway around the world if it is the last thing he does. But demons from his past, passing ships the size of skyscrapers, and one of the worst cyclone seasons in recorded history will make the Pacific far from welcoming.
But first, he will need to buy a boat and―remarkably―learn how to sail.
An inspiring tale and a victory of the human spirit!
