'Survivors' by Ben Hubbard is a great book. This book tells the amazing true stories of 20 or so people who survived disasters that took place on the Land, in the Sea and in the Sky.
As the title says, these stories are very inspiring.

This was an interesting little read. All of these events are real and I found it fascinating. It’s amazing what people are willing to do to survive. I’d like to think I’m strong but I don’t know if I could do what some of these people did. Good read!

This was a little light on the details, but it was still really interesting.
