Life is perfect; you're young and in love. Then picture everything going horribly wrong. You inadvertently sail into a hurricane, you're injured, and you wake up to find that your loved one is gone. Your boat's motor is shot and your masts have disappeared. Utterly alone, you're weeks from dry land. Red Sky in Mourning is the story of Tami Oldham Ashcraft's 41-day journey to safety, which she survived through fortitude and sheer strength of character. Interspersed with flashbacks to her romance with her doomed fiance Richard, this survival story offers an inspiring reminder that even in our darkest moments we are never truly alone. Review: Great Story...Wonderful book. - I watched the movie "Adrift" earlier this year before I read this book. I loved the movie. I think they did a wonderful job telling Tami's story. I know people expect to put so much in a movie from a real life story, but it's so much you can put in the movie without over doing it and boring the audience. It kept my attention. I also read the real story before the movie started. It made me more intrigued with her story. After the movie, I decided to purchase her book. I read and finished this book in two days. It was so good. It told everything you seen in the movie, some parts a tiny bit differently, but all the same. As well as, a lot of other stuff that wasn't in the movie. I'm kind of glad they didn't put so much in the movie because I would feel like they would've over did it and the movie might've been longer than it needed to be. It was a good move and the book is just as good. I also loved the personal pictures she put in her book. Just enough, but not too much. Although, I wouldn't mind more pictures. Lol! Anyway, it wa s a fantastic read. I would recommend people to watch "Adrift" and read this book. Both were very intriguing and good. They both tell Tami & Richard's story very well. Review: Incredible true story of survival - This incredible true story resonated with me and brought back many happy memories (and a few scary ones) of life at sea. I spent much of my youth in the early '80s sailing in the tropics. Tami however found herself faced with the unthinkable, when her fiance' Richard was lost overboard during hurricane Raymond. She was left behind to fight for her life injured and alone aboard a badly damaged sailboat. Hundreds of miles from nowhere and stranded in the middle of the Pacific ocean! Many of us might have given up. Tami with her injuries, broken heart, broken sailboat, and painful loneliness was determined to survive... and survive she did. This book was a great read from beginning to finish. Tami you did an amazing job of sharing your adventuresome spirit, your deep love, tragic loss, and tale of survival. I enjoyed the movie "Adrift" as well. You are a survivor! ## Features - Used Book in Good Condition ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #361,592 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #552 in Travelogues & Travel Essays #1,074 in Traveler & Explorer Biographies #1,613 in Women's Biographies | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 339 Reviews | ## Images ![Red Sky in Mourning: A True Story of Love, Loss, and Survival at Sea - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71NKLqwlXRL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great Story...Wonderful book. *by M***D on July 16, 2018* I watched the movie "Adrift" earlier this year before I read this book.

You are a survivor! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ An amazingly honest account *by M***K on June 3, 2009* I'm a big reader of the survival and adventure stories genre and this book is toward the top of my list. While I purchased it on audio CD and the author may have been better served hiring a professional reader (she lacks polish, but actually improves as the books goes on), the content and the story is simply amazing. Her personal account of tragedy, the will to survive, and the challenges she faced is one incredible. Perhaps most appealing to me was that she didn't stop when she was rescued. She continues the book forward for ten years beyond the tragedy, describing the challenges of re-integrating back into society, dealing with obsticles after the fact (from dealing with the coast guard to dealing with the her boyfriend's family), and where she ends up. This is a truly unique book from that perspective and provides insights that books like "The Long Walk", "We Die Alone", and "Endurance" fail to fully account for. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tn/products/59422749-red-sky-in-mourning-a-true-story-of-love-loss](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/59422749-red-sky-in-mourning-a-true-story-of-love-loss) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-08-28*
