In 1993, Judith and Michael Sleavin and their two children set out to live their dream: to circumnavigate the world on their sailboat Melinda Lee. But one night, a freighter off the coast of New Zealand altered its course by a mere ten degrees. And changeeverything. After 44 hours in the water, with a back broken in several places and paralysed below the waist, Judith miraculously survived. Doctors would say later she suffered one of the worst cases of post- traumatic stress syndrome ever documented. Newsof the collision made headlines around the world but, distraught, Judith never talked to the press. Her body was broken and so was her soul.
