Back Cover Blurb:
Saipan is a tropical island with clear blue waters,
sandy beaches, tropical flowers, swaying palm trees, gentle breezes and warm and
friendly Micronesian South Pacific natives - plus the added bonus of being a
U.S. territory with American goods in the stores and with American money as the
local currency. What more could a girl ask for?
All of the
Japanese people on the tour were oooohing and ahhhhing over all the duty free
shops and souvenirs. I was in the local version of Wal-Mart, oooohing and
ahhhhing over shampoo and conditioner, body lotion, Pepto Bismol, Tylenol and
Motrin - and generally running wild through the aisles like a
crazy woman!
I got up before dawn each day and sat out on my balcony by
myself while my husband slept. As I watched the sun come up, peace flooded my
soul. That old church song, "Precious
Memories", kept playing
itself in my mind like Daddy used to sing it in church. I sat out
there and watched the colors tint the clouds and the ocean waters while the
refrain of "Precious memories, unseen angels, how they ever flood my soul, in
the stillness of the midnight, precious memories scenes unfold" played over and
over in my head.
I was reborn.
I found myself again. I knew that I was on the edge but I
had not realized how close I had come to losing myself till that
moment.
