Product Description
Perils and inherent dangers of the sea, and of island living, are cloaked behind a facade of sunny beaches, balmy tradewinds and swaying palm trees. Two women fall prey to nature's wrath during inclement tropical weather. In "Child of a Storm," during the late '60s the ketch, "Mercy," sinks during a sea storm off Culebra near the Virgin Islands. Ciara Malloy inherits her drowned fiancee's son, learns a devastating secret about the boy, and faces the most crucial decision of her life. In the late '90s, underwater photographer Lillian Avery gets "Caught in a Rip" current and swept out to sea off Kauai in Hawaii. In facing death, she identifies strengths she never knew she had. A few years later, in "Hurricane Secret," the two former neighbors from Puerto Rico meet again on Kauai. A hurricane wreaks havoc in both their lives and threatens to expose secrets tightly held since the sinking of the Mercy.
