Put yourself in Kate’s shoes in this true story of her five years on an island in the Exuma Cays, southeast of Nassau, Bahamas. Living in isolation can be harsh. With very few conveniences and no emergency services, Kate and her husband, Peter, find their new job as island managers very different than what they expected. The simple everyday benefits of the modern world are gone. Medical assistance is many miles away over the ocean. And when the security of the law is needed, there is of course no-
From drug traders to medical emergencies, illegal immigrants and more, Kate and Peter are continually challenged to counter unusual and often dangerous situations as the island teaches them courage and patience.
Life On a Rock was taken from a set of carefully documented journals by the author who lived on Highborne Cay. While most of the names have been changed, the stories are based on actual happenings that occurred on that small island during the five years from 1992 to 1997.
As the journals were developed, Life on a Rock evolved into an accessible account of a journey back in time and through life itself, as much as the tale of a journey across the ocean. With stories that come from the heart, Albury’s debut book delivers an uncompromisingly honest and evocative story.
