Editorial Review:
A lovely Caribbean island and its people awaken in author Robert Benson a sense of place and home. The islanders’ warmth and welcome prompt a new understanding of ideas of beauty, community and spiritual belonging. “We live in a world where such welcome and gentleness and civility are increasingly rare. Most of the conversation between strangers is terse and quick and far too often, it is cold and rude. It can even be that way, more often than we care to admit, among people who are not strangers. And such is the way of the world that we live in that we are almost stunned by welcome whenever it breaks out around us, and we are certainly drawn to the people and to the places where we find such welcome in abundance.”

Rating: - Home from home
Knowing where this island is and most of the people mentioned in the book, I have discovered that there is a lot to learn about the place I call home myself.
The book is very easy to read and is so true to life out here in the West Indies. I really hope the author and his wife enjoy their paradise!
Rating: - Hated to see the book come to a close.
A delectable read. Robert and Sara, will you be there when we get there? I hope so.

Rating: - I want a romantic man like this writer in MY LIFE
This has to be one of the most romantic books I've ever read--and I'm a huge Jane Austen fan! I love how the writer sees the world. And the love that shines through on each page--love for this island AND love fo his wife. What a wonderful book that I will read again and again.
Rating: - Time for a vacation?
Robert Benson is my favorite author, and he has done it again! This time, I don't need to pack to go on vacation. Instead, I get to relax and slow down on a beautiful island with people I love. As always, Robert Benson causes my soul to remember what is really important in and about life. Don't miss this opportunity to kick-back and enter into a simpler more reflective world. Perfect for a day on the beach or a night on the couch. You'll love it!
