To escape cruel Japanese soldiers Zayda and her cousins Nena, Delfin and Badong seek sanctuary in the remote Philippine paradise island of Tawi Tawi.

Terry Reye, author of The Secret Cove lives with his family and four dogs in a quiet house dwarfed by huge trees, west of the rockies. He is an avid gardener and when not tending to his collection of prized orchids or fighting the eternal battle of the weeds, he is often lost to an old woodshed tuned retreat where he writes for hours on end. His penchant for obscurity leaves little for those curious to know more about him as a writer but as Mr. Reye would say - Maybe tomorrow.
