I've visited St. John many times and thought of it as the most beautiful place on earth. To know the back story from the eyes, ears, voices and memories of the pioneers and their descendants is amazing. I found the book h Really a good book, I recommend it.

I love all things St. John, USVI and have a collection of over 150 St. John and Caribbean-related books. So, when I saw this book, I HAD to have it. Thank you for sharing your family's history, Valerie!

If you have ever been to St. John in the US Virgin Islands or stayed at Caneel Bay Plantation/Resort you will enjoy this book. The author has a unique way of weaving island landmarks to the background stories. This book would make a wonderful present for anyone connected to the US Virgin Islands.
