About this listen

A trilogy of stories that shatter the myths of stereotypical islands of paradise.

In "Promises", during the late 1960s, the ketch, Mercy, sinks during a sea storm off Culebra near the Virgin Islands. Ciara Malloy assumes custody of her drowned fiancé’s son, and learns a devastating secret about the boy that changes her life forever.

In "Adrift", in the late 1990s, underwater photographer Lillian Avery gets caught in a rip current and swept out to sea off Kauai in Hawaii. In facing death, she finds a way to leave a message behind.

Years later, in "Reunion", the two former neighbors from Puerto Rico reunite on Kauai. A hurricane wreaks island-wide havoc. Ciara is missing, presumed dead. Among the rubble, Lillian finds Ciara’s memoirs—a life history that threatens to expose tightly held secrets about the boy since the sinking of the Mercy.
