Living Life Sideways: The Complete Series: True Story of Heart-Pounding Adventure & Heart-Wrenching Survival Kindle Edition

by Michelle Segrest (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.8 4.8 out of 5 stars 25 ratings
She was sailing directly into the eye of a storm. But fighting the challenges at sea was nothing compared with her complex personal struggles on an intense journey to find self-valuation. When life forces you to make choices, you might be shocked to learn what one woman will endure to survive.

This is the complete Living Life Sideways series. It includes the unabridged versions of the original 3-book series (Book 1: Life on a 20-Degree Tilt; Book 2: Blinded By Love & Loyalty; Book 3: Captain of My Soul).

Living Life Sideways paints a vivid picture of the adventure of a lifetime (a year-long, worldwide sailing journey), coupled with the fight of a lifetime. It describes one sailor’s odyssey to regain her sense of self when she realizes that her peace of mind is worth more than she could have ever imagined.

In this deeply personal true story, the harsh effects of years of narcissistic abuse begin to take their toll as Michelle Segrest is broken down psychologically and emotionally—piece by piece—by her manipulative partner. She is forced to battle her inner demons as she struggles to rediscover her personal strength and resolve.

You will feel her struggle between the exciting escape from the ordinary, the fascinating cultures and experiences of exotic destinations, the thrill of the voyage, and the toxic relationship that continues to unravel. Trapped inside the lonely darkness of depression and unsettling isolation, she must dig deep into her soul to find a way to save herself and her two devoted beagles, Cap’n Jack & Scout, and escape the clutches of the skipper’s escalating rage.

In terrifying and vivid detail, Michelle learns the hard way that the middle of the ocean is not the only place where split-second decisions can have deadly consequences.

Experience this powerful account of a woman’s attempt to overcome enormous obstacles. Segrest charts an epic journey that combines an individual’s survival story with a fascinating sailing journal. And by sharing her deepest anxieties and raw experience of life on deck, you’ll witness how her increasing nightmare turns into a soul-searching quest for meaning.

Living Life Sideways is an intriguing, moving, and sometimes disturbing travel memoir that shows how one woman must find a way to navigate a confusing and chaotic battle between her own loyalty and the extreme betrayal she suffers at the hands of a menacing narcissist. If you like intensely personal narratives, ocean-going challenges, and brutally honest self-assessments, then you’ll love Michelle Segrest’s emotional storm.

    This trilogy is an incredible true story about the author’s adventure of sailing the high seas in a 43 foot sailboat. The author did an excellent job of making you feel like you were on the journey with her. Her perseverance and strength throughout the many hardships at sea was truly inspiring. Once I started reading, I couldn’t put it down. It’s a must read!

    Michelle is an even better person than she is a writer, and she is exceptional at her craft. This is a captivating, courageous -- and educational -- story of a journey much greater than a crossing of the Atlantic.

    These books are an eye opener to adventure and also sadly abuse. They helped me be able to see the inside view of what some people are living through. The adventure is captivating and I learned a lot of sailing too. I highly recommend the series because you can’t stop at book 1.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Gripping!
    Reviewed in the United States on March 2, 2023
    This is honestly the best series of books I’ve ever read! This is a true story of incredibly daring bravery to travel the high seas in a 43-foot sailboat with one other sailer and two dogs. The author captures the beauty of the ocean, combined with its fierceness, its effects on the human body, the gorgeous beaches and exotic places one can only get to by boat. But intertwined with the sailing adventure itself is a real gut-wrenching story of the personal struggles of human relationships. This book series will keep you absorbed all the way through. You won’t want to put it down! As a novel it would be fantastic, but to know every word of it is true will just grab your soul.

    This author’s description of sailing on a 43 foot sailboat through feisty seas is incredible. It’s a gripping story of one woman’s strength and courage. Not only dealing with the sea but a toxic relationship with a man she loves. Her details of her travel had me checking maps and pictures of each destination. She has her beagles with her, who give comfort and support. I could not put this book down.

    This true tale of sailing on a small boat with two dogs and one other person is absolutely amazing. It is a story of death defiance, hard, hard work, and a lot of seasickness. So easy to envision the seas with Michelle narrating her voyages.
