Jessica Watson
PB AUD35.00
I was one of the many who followed
Jessica Watson's blog as she sailed around the
globe.
Each time I turned on my computer
I would check to see if she had written another
post. And then I would spend far too much time
reading the hundreds of comments posted by those
following her! They were as engaging as her
adventures.
Jessica writes well and many times
when reading her blog it was easy to forget
her youth. I was thrilled to see her style captured
in True Spirit.
In the opening chapter she talks
about how it was hard to get into her voice
when writing in typical prose.
So she has taken entries from
the blog and written about the emotional side
of what she went through day by day. She writes
that often she did not want to worry her parents
or disappoint her followers by blogging about
her low moods. She reflects that it is only
now she is able to voice some of her internal
'stuff'.
This is an inspirational story
of one girl and her dream. The other part of
story is how a community came together to support
her dream.
Jessica is very generous in her
gratitude and appreciation of all the support
and she says many times she feels she had the
easy job.
Can't say I agree with her but
I understand her sentiment!
