All At Sea by Decca Aitkenhead
On a hot still morning on a beautiful beach in Jamaica, Decca Aitkenhead's life changed forever. Decca's four-year-old son was paddling at the waters edge when a wave pulled him out to sea. Tony, Decca's partner, swam out and saved her son's life, and then drowned before her eyes.
"The thing to remember about this story is that every word is true. If I never told it to a soul, and this book did not exist, it would not cease to be true. I don't mind at all if you forget this."
Decca and Tony met 10 years earlier, in London. She was an award winning journalist, he was a dread locked criminal with a history of drug dealing and violence. No one thought the romance would last, but it did.
This is an open, honest, and inspirational story of life in the aftermath of a life-altering loss. A poignant and beautifully written memoir by a celebrated British journalist. The reader is taken on a journey of life, love, unthinkable tragedy and finally to a point of healing and peace. Written with unflinching candor, All At Sea is a fascinating account of one woman's life changing experience, heartbreaking, brilliant and profound.
All At Sea can be found in the adult non-fiction section of the library.
