In an attempt to escape from her stressful life as a single working mother of two young boys, Kathy Giuffre books a yearlong trip for four in a tropical paradise. At the last minute, her boyfriend announces he isn't joining them, and Kathy finds herself in an unlivable house in Rarotonga, a tiny speck in the middle of the South Pacific Ocean. Her unlikely savior is Emily, an 82yearold Maori woman with a large white house on the edge of the ocean, which the two women share with two callous missionaries, the ghosts of Emilys ancestors, and, briefly, a bizarre couple from Eastern Europe. As time passes, Kathy is seduced by the island and its people and by feelings she has never before experienced. This is an inspirational story about having the courage to search for something better and finding itserenity, sensuality, and, ultimately, love.
