Blurb:

A two-week vacation to the Florida Keys meant Mary and Jameson Sr. could share the beauty of their favorite turquoise-blue waters with their four children. On that serene day at Looe Key Reef, after they finished lunch on the boat, their oldest, ten-year-old Jameson Jr., was swimming among the marine life, capturing breathtaking footage of a sea turtle. Until a massive bull shark attacked. Nine miles from shore and even farther from a hospital, their son weakening after the shark had ripped skin, muscle, and bone from his leg, the Reeders prayed for help—and it came through a miraculous chain of events.
