A Small Island Life

In A Small Island Life, a young woman from Ontario Canada follows the trade winds to the Caribbean island of Bequia and finds the life she never planned, but one she could never leave. What begins as a year abroad to find herself turns into a sun-drenched love affair with an island, its people, food and culture. She arrived to teach and stayed to belong. From simple beach picnics to dining with royalty, sailing adventures on the turquoise waters of the Caribbean Sea, rubbing shoulders with the rich and famous, to flying to Alaska, this memoir dives head first into an incredible life well lived. Written with warmth, humour, and a deep affection for Bequia, the author captures not only the hilarities of small island living, but also the complexities that come with small communities. Perfect for readers who dream of distant shores, have a taste for culinary adventures, treasure soulful storytelling, and engage with poignant narratives. An entertaining tapestry of travel, food, love and family, this salt-crusted memoir is about taking risks, loving fully, and the surprising places we find home.
