Pearl in the Storm: How I Found My Heart in the Middle of the Ocean by Tori Murden-McClure, Memoir, 292 pages.
A fascinating look at a woman's difficult childhood, her somewhat obsessive nature and her two attempts to become the first woman to row solo across the Atlantic.
A large portion of the book focuses on her harrowing first try, with incredible storms and an honest and engaging narrator who admits that she does not know when she is beaten, even when she is severely beaten, with broken bones and torn muscles.
