A Memoir of Survival, Strength, and the Storm That Changed Everything

When the winds began to howl and the sea swallowed the streets of the Bahamas, Tara Pyfrom, her wife, their young daughter, and five beloved dogs sought refuge in the only place left: their attic. Trapped as Hurricane Dorian—one of the strongest storms in history—ripped through their home, Tara faced a terrifying question: Would they make it out alive?

The Ocean in Our Blood is a powerful memoir of survival, love, and the fragile beauty of life after trauma. With raw honesty and lyrical prose, Tara recounts the harrowing days inside the storm, the heartbreak of loss, and the long, uncertain road to healing. But this isn’t just a story about devastation—it’s a testament to the strength of family, the power of memory, and the hope that rises even after everything is washed away.

For anyone who has ever had to rebuild after their world was torn apart, this book will speak to your soul.
