‘A truly inspirational woman’ - Maxine Peake 

Jessica Hepburn has never been the sporty type. She hates exercise, loves food, and believes the best downtime involves boxsets and podcasts on the sofa. So, it surprised everyone, most of all herself, when she went from a very unlikely athlete to a world-record breaker, transforming her life in the process.  

Save Me from the Waves is the story of her extraordinary journey, from the streets of London to the summit of Mount Everest, fuelled by listening to every episode of her favourite radio show – Desert Island Discs. An amazing adventure set to a soundtrack of unforgettable songs, it encourages everyone to live big and bravely when life doesn’t go to plan. 

Save Me from the Waves is the heart-warming, relatable and inspiring story of how an adventure will always change your life for the better -- whether far away or closer to home. Sometimes, we all need saving from the waves.

'Reminds you to live each day with meaning' - Donna Ferguson, Observer 

Jessica Hepburn is an author, arts producer and adventure activist. She is the former Executive Director of one of London’s leading theatres, the Lyric Hammersmith. She was nominated as an Amnesty International ‘Woman of Suffragette Spirit’ and has been selected as a Star of 2024 by Woman & Home magazine. Her previous books are 21 Miles and The Pursuit of Motherhood, both currently being developed for the screen by Erebus Pictures.
