Sarah Conover was 18 months old when her parents and paternal grandparents were lost during a sudden storm in the Bermuda Triangle. They were highly experienced sailors, their yacht Revonoc was in first class condition. Only the dinghy was found despite an intensive search. Meanwhile Sarah and her 3-year-old sister became the focus of a family custody battle. The emotional damage was widespread.

This book details Sarah’s own slow struggle to understand the truth of family happenings and begin to heal some of her own, previously unrecognised, trauma. It’s written in a fragmented, episodic fashion which is eloquent and effective.

 The circumstances of Revonoc’s disappearance have never been fully explained.
