Opis

A dream come true or a shameful nightmare? She thought she was prepared, but is her faith in God strong enough to see her through? Hanna Truly's dream of becoming a missionary is finally realized when she accepts a teaching assignment in Paraiso - a fishing village located along the coastal highway of the Dominican Republic. Although Paraiso means paradise in English, Hanna soon discovers living on a Caribbean island is nothing like she read about in the travel brochures. When her confidence is attacked on every side, including opposition from Jake Mason - a widower, also serving in Paraiso - Hanna realizes how quickly dreams can be shattered. While visiting the border of the Dominican Republic and Haiti, Hanna and Jake discover a common bond in their love for the Haitian people, but is it strong enough to survive an unexpected visit from Jake's high school sweetheart or overcome their fears of being hurt? Most Christians, at one time or another, struggle with a fear of failure or feelings of inadequacy for accomplishing the tasks God has given them. Caribbean Paradise introduces readers to missionaries who are no different than they are - ordinary people who by God's grace are learning to walk in victory over these common fears and insecurities."
