Download Stranded in the jungle on our honeymoon

When Holly Fitzgerald and her husband Fitz’s plane crash-landed in the Peruvian rainforest, their honeymoon of a lifetime travelling across South America quickly became treacherous. Holly was desperate for adventure so instead of waiting 3 months for the next boat out, they decided to build a raft and sail downstream towards the Amazon River. But when a storm washed away their food and their makeshift raft got stuck in a swamp, their adventure became a nightmare. With no supplies and no end in sight, Fitz edged closer towards death. Their relationship, sanity and strength would be pushed to the absolute limit. Holly has written a book called Ruthless River.
