The Rich Girl,The Poor Girl, The Coastwatcher And Me: Anecdotes And Reminiscences From The Collected Papers Of Justin Bornmann

Is a new start too much to hope for when your dreams turn to ashes?

At first she keeps him at arm’s length, but when tragedy draws them together they begin a journey together through disaster, disfigurement and conflict, which they survive with the help of an elegant lady who was once a refugee on the island, and an assortment of unique individuals, each with the fortunate knack of turning up just at the right time.
