About this ebook

Alegra and Nelson, two brilliant climate science students -- whom destiny enrolled at the same university in the United States and meeting initially as strangers-- learn that they are from the same small Caribbean island. They travel together back to their island with a world renowned research team assembled to investigate the dramatic effects of global warming in the Caribbean region. While the islands mystified residents continue experiencing the mounting ravages of a historic drought, the returning young scholars themselves begin an unanticipated detour along an arduous path of dizzying self-discovery, painful secrets, haunting memories, and startling notions about their islands ancient traditions and its sacred spiritual world. Alegras and Nelsons own spiritual and psychological drought force them to confront formidable challenges of a shared passion for their islands future, as well as for each other ignoring totally the dire warnings from the islands revered sacred spirits. The tale offers an intricately woven tropical tapestry that explores the often inexplicable bonds we share with the natural world and with one another-- especially in the midst of calamity.
