5 Dances with the Caribbean: An Abused Child's Voyage: From Broken Beginnings to Yacht Captain and Triumph Over Darkness (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781069626714)

Richard William Hannah ( Memoir )

Richard (Rick) Hannah should've been dead by now.

Caught up in the dual worlds of addiction and life

as a sailing charter captain, Hannah cruised the

Caribbean living his dream while the same time

destroying it.

Born on the Canadian prairies, Hannah's ambition

was to sail the seas. He acquired his captain's license

and began sailing charters in the British Virgin Islands.

But his enslavement to drugs and alcohol soon

turned his sunny tropical excursions into

encounters with darkness.

5 Dances With the Caribbean is the riveting true

story of Hannah's five confrontations with death

and his ultimate victory over the addiction and

childhood abuse that led to his fate.

It is a journey from dreams to destruction to

triumph and the hope that others will be inspired to

find their freedom from dependency.
