READ THIS BOOK！ A glorious debut novel/memoir that tells a terrific story of the author taking life head on and plunging the into the unknown to discover its true meaning。 Surrounded by characters who create paradise on their own terms in the off-the- beaten trail side of St John ， the writer illuminates all that really counts: strong relationships （ especially with women） and people always at the ready for common cause。 The reader is also reminded of how two devastating hurricanes destroy not o READ THIS BOOK！ A glorious debut novel/memoir that tells a terrific story of the author taking life head on and plunging the into the unknown to discover its true meaning。 Surrounded by characters who create paradise on their own terms in the off-the- beaten trail side of St John ， the writer illuminates all that really counts: strong relationships （ especially with women） and people always at the ready for common cause。 The reader is also reminded of how two devastating hurricanes destroy not only an island but a way of life。 It is a clarion call to heed the existential threat of climate change and the people forgotten in its wake。 。A poignant， harrowing ， insightful， sometimes hilarious and beautifully written book with eye popping “scenery” to boot！ 。。。more
