Taming a Hurricane Paula A. John

Set largely on the Caribbean island of Dominica, with brief excursions to Malta and the United Kingdom, this book tells the story of a strong, sophisticated woman who returns to her native country to confront the man who abused her as a child. However, nothing goes to plan: an unexpected hurricane leaves her stranded on the island and, once again, she falls victim to the man she loathes. Steeped in local tradition and teeming with authentic island stories, 'Taming A Hurricane' is more than a piece of literary entertainment: It is a window through which we observe tortured characters wading through life's vicissitudes searching for peace. Some never find it.
