Fourteen year-old Amanda Rivers reflects on her trip of a lifetime
long ago to the tiny sun-splashed islands of the Caribbean. She
read everything she could get her hands on about these mysterious
isles that beckoned her to come. Packing lightly, Mandy looked
forward to island-hopping with Joyce, her spunky yet classy aunt.
As a flight attendant, Joyce knew the islands well and had a wide
circle of friends there. From the Bahamas in the north to Trinidad
in the south, Mandy experienced the excitement, the charm and the
reality of life in these lush island pearls atop the Caribbean Sea.
What was it like to have nearly not survived the treacherous climb
up slippery Dunn's River Falls in Jamaica? How did she handle being
stranded in St. Thomas, due to unfortunate circumstances? After
many more heart-thumping experiences, Mandy returned home at the
end of her excursion a mature and insightful young woman. She was
able to appreciate that many people that look like her, have
cultures and lifestyles in stark contrast to her own. She captured
and remained forever changed by the memories of wonderful people in
delightful places.
