The Courage of a Woman

By Adina Alexander

Separated from her husband, she went on a sea voyage but the ship was blown up by terrorists. She floated on a makeshift raft for weeks, barely subsisting on raw fish, through a storm and threatened by sharks, eventually reaching a volcanic island, where alone, she faces life-threatening situations and challenges in order to survive. Later she is joined by someone whom at first she resents, but comes to love and would protect with her life, if necessary. Together, they brave the disasters Nature throws at them.

Adina Alexander

A third-generation South African, I immigrated to Israel aged 18, full of zeal, and married a Holocaust survivor from Germany (born Lutz Schneider). We lived for years on a farm where my husband and I raised our children, goats, and agricultural crops. I started writing my first book six years ago, in between working and babysitting grandchildren. Still working and doing my own housework, I have 6 children, 16 grandchildren and a first great-grandchild. I have has written two more books (unpublished as yet) and am working on the fourth. I love all animals but especially horses and cats. We have a cat, a dog and 30 chickens and live in Herzliya near Tel Aviv, Israel.
