Off the coast of Ilhabela, Brazil, a woman spent forty-two hours alone in the Atlantic after a jet ski accident separated her from everything familiar and safe.

Her recovery from the ICU reminds us that survival is rarely a single dramatic event, but a chain of small chances that either hold or break.
