Sailing Into Darkness

Deesha Harris and her fiancé are making a dream come true. Before entering graduate school, they are seeing the world from the deck of a forty-five foot sailboat, the Golden Buccaneer. Their dream turns into a nightmare, however, when their boat is hijacked by Somali pirates off Africa's east coast. When her boat is destroyed and her fiancé murdered, Deesha alone must now face beatings, rape, confinement and, finally, escape. But freedom has its own perils: steamy jungles, tortuous swamps, poisonous snakes, and a murderous pirate who now wants revenge more than ransom money. Deesha's journey-of-a-lifetime has become a frantic battle to survive!
