Island Odyssey
Picture
It’s the eighties and Lily Harmon, newly single, embarks on a journey that lands her in the Caribbean. As she waits out the hurricane of the century on the island of St. Margeaux, Lily faces her fears by mentally walking through the accidental adventures that have become her life, all beginning with her arrival on the island of Puerto Rico. Swept into the arms of a Latin pilot, she had quickly discovered not only the natural beauty of the region, but also the very compelling joy of life without a guide. In the warm, sultry climate friendships thrive, romances flourish, and Lily’s island odyssey is born.

"Cheryl Blaydon provides us with engaging descriptions of life, love and adventure on the island of St. Margeaux.   From landscape to seascape, her prose is both thoughtful and thought
provoking.  A contemporary story of  friendships, journeys and romance as well as an emotional story of anxiety,
sorrow and hope."
 
Maria Coletta McLean, author of
My Father Came From
Italy.
