Then on a cruise to the Caribbean with two friends, inspired by a troubling dream, she senses her life beginning to unravel--and in a panic packs her bag in the middle of the night and abandons her friends at the next port of call. The unexpected and beautiful adventure that follows provides Avey with the links to the culture and history she has so long disavowed."--From back cover. 650 0 African American women|vFiction. 650 0 African Americans|xRace identity|vFiction. 650 0 Grenadian Americans|vFiction. 650 0 Widows|vFiction. 650 0 Ocean travel|vFiction. 651 0 Grenada|vFiction. 651 0 Caribbean Area|vFiction. 655 7 Fiction.|2lcgft
