Arietta - Paperback

by Kevin McGann (Author)

Three complete strangers arrive at the beautiful island of St. John in the US Virgin Islands.

Arietta, a successful businesswoman, is going through a crisis in her life. She wonders is this her destiny? Is this me? Is this all there is? She knows what she has to do but isn't sure if she has the strength or courage to see it through, and she is scared, scared to take that first step. She needs to get away and books a flight on the first sunny destination available, the US Virgin Islands.

James is thinking about Clair and how perfect their life was together, up until that day she left him, the same day he gave up on himself, his faith. How often sadness and bitterness were his companions as he drank to the bottom of every bottle; and those desperate nights lying on the couch contemplating ending it all. Since then, he has tried to put the pieces of his shattered life back together, but now in the USVI, her memory haunts him and those feelings are being renewed.

Cheryl, an attractive, struggling, single-mother, is vacationing with her daughter, Caleigh. The last few years tending to her daughter's illness, has not only taken an emotional and financial toll on Cheryl, but left her feeling inaccessible, and lonely.

As events unfold, their paths cross, and their lives unravel, can these three unlikely strangers help one another get over their hurdles, move forward with their lives, and believe in love once again?
