Synopsis
More than a photography, coffee table book with 200 stunning pictures, this important book includes 30+ interviews with major people on the island of Virgin Gorda, British Virgin Islands. They tell of their lives and experiences of how life has changed on VG from l964 when Laurance Rockefeller developed his famous resort, Little Dix Bay, opened its doors, catapulting VG into a worldwide;destination spot; from the quiet island it was before: no money (exchanges were only through barter), little goods, services, jobs, only a primary education...to VG today: enriched with major, worldwide resorts, 200+ privately owned villas, roads, goods, services, job and educational opportunities. Intimate portraits of the interviewees, together with striking pictures of the beauty of VG blend to enhance the story of VG. The book will offer much to anyone interested in life on any small island as it thrives and struggles with the changes of growth and tourism.

From the Author
In addition to my PhD dissertation and a bunch of articles on Intercultural Couples, this is my book, a work from my heart, combining pretty much all my interests: culture, psychotherapy, people, Virgin Gorda, and photography. It was an amazing opportunity for me to meet some folks I did not even know, and to get to know way better those I did know. The work took two years of interviewing, working on photographs, working with a fabulous graffic artist, Julia Donavan, transcribing the 35 interviews, editing them, etc. Most of all I wanted to do something people would be proud of. Seems like it has worked really well, and I am so happy to share it with you.
