Together with her family, Jean navigates rugged, untamed seascapes, embraces the vibrant heartbeat of island cultures, and survives thrilling, dangerous adventures, all while savouring the tantalising seafood and exotic fruits of a unique tropical paradise.
Whether you are a seasoned traveller or an armchair explorer, author Karla Ingleton Darocas breathes brilliant life into these ancestral stories.
