A Speck in the Sea is a terrific read–harrowing and inspiring on the same time. In any case it is a moving testament both to our individual will to live on and to our collective will to come to the help of others in distress. I couldn’t put it down.” –Daniel James Brown, creator of The Boys in the Boat

In the dead of night on July 24, 2013, John Aldridge was once thrown off the back of the Anna Mary whilst his fishing partner, Anthony Sosinski, slept below. As desperate hours ticked by, Sosinski, the families, the local fishing community, and the U.S. Coast Guard in three states mobilized in an unprecedented search effort that culminated in a rare and exhilarating success.

A tale of survival, perseverance, and community, A Speck in the Sea tells of one man’s struggle to live on as friends and strangers work one after the other, and together, to bring him home. Aldridge’s wrenching first-person account intertwines with the narrative of the massive, continuously evolving rescue operation designed to save him.
