From National Book Award-nominated writer Andrea Lee comes Red Island House, a travel epic that opens a window on the mysterious African island of Madagascar, and on the dangers of life and love in paradise, as seen through the eyes of a Black American heroine. "People do mysterious things when they think they have found paradise," reflects Shay, the heroine of Red Island House. When Shay, an intrepid Black American professor, marries Senna, a brash Italian businessman, she doesn't imagine that her life's greatest adventure will carry her far beyond their home in Milan: to an idyllic stretch of beach in Madagascar where Senna builds a flamboyant vacation villa. Before she knows it, she becomes the reluctant mistress of a sprawling household, caught between her privileged American upbringing and her connection to the continent of her ancestors. So begins Shay's journey into the heart of a remote African country. Can she keep her identity and her marriage intact amid the wild beauty and the lingering colonial sins of this mysterious world that both captivates and destroys foreigners? A mesmerizing, powerful tale of travel and self-discovery that evokes Isabel Allende's House of the Spirits and Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie's Americanah, Red Island House showcases an extraordinary literary voice and gorgeously depicts a lush and unknown world.

The meditations set down in this short volume stem from countless recitations by Peter C. Morrison over the course of approximately sixty years. He believes that the Holy Spirit has been abundantly active during the recitations. The Spirit has also never failed to guide and inspire him as soon as he sits down to print the reflections contained in this book. Meditations on the Holy Rosary draws from his life experiences, his knowledge of the Bible, and from the classes in Theology and homilies from inspired preachers.
