A memoir
Wave After WaveMessages Take a Lifetime to Hear
“I was fifty feet underwater, on my first scuba dive, when the ocean changed above me. I surfaced into a different world. More than two hundred thousand people did not. The tsunami wasn’t the hardest part. What followed was.”

About Terry
Terry Mahoney walked on to The Ohio State University golf team when it was ranked #1 and quit a year later. He spent five years as an enlisted Marine signals intelligence codebreaker. He survived the 2004 tsunami. He holds an MBA from the Darden School of Business at the University of Virginia and trades commodities for Chick-fil-A. He lives in Alpharetta, Georgia, with his wife and four children. This is his first book.
Terry studied improv at The Brave New Workshop in Minneapolis and once got an A on a creative writing paper in high school, but the teacher scratched the A out with red ink and changed it to an F for being “too suggestive.”
