A collection of small islands sticking out from the coast of Virginia into the Atlantic Ocean that has been home to generations of fierce and resilient women. Sanctuary to some but nightmare to others, it's a place they've inhabited, fled, and returned to for hundreds of years. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe women are united by both small miracles and miseries: from a brave girl's determination to protect her younger sister as methamphetamine ravages their family, to a lesson in summoning storm clouds to help end a drought. Their interconnected stories form a deeply affecting legacy of two island families bound not just by blood, but by fate.","brand":"Print on demand - Ships in 1 to 3 months","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48303175925918,"sku":"UBD-9780099591887","price":22.78,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0400\/9043\/5742\/files\/9780099591887.jpg?v=1789889048","url":"https:\/\/classicbargains.com.au\/products\/9780099591887","provider":"Classic Bargains Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
