An out-of-the-blue phone call from a passing acquaintance sends Julie, a divorced Mother of two twenty-something sons, to a tropical paradise, an exotic paradise in the middle of the Caribbean to work and to live. What she discovers there transforms her life. Living a tranquil coexistence with the native population, not only does she discover a virtual United Nations of expatriates who become her friends, but with them she travels to Cuba and Costa Rica, to London and Scotland. She rediscovers long hidden passions; for painting, artistically creating pastel impressions of her island surroundings, and for swimming, a sport she takes up in earnest in the calm, clear azure waters that surround the tiny island. She also meets a man and falls so in love that her heart is surrundered. Along this path of blissful contentment comes the rememberances of a former, not so happy time, in which a series of tragedies after her divorce left her mired in the depths of depression. She realizes that the road back into the sun has rendered her strong, capable, happy, and healthy. But can she hold onto this new life and this new man who has entered it with such a stronghold on her heart?
