Publisher's Synopsis
In the first paragraphs of this 4th novel of the Hurricane Road series, A Change of Times, we learn that Captain Asher Byran, an elderly man, has passed away at sea. He is buried by his sixteen-year old great-grandson, Cory Byran MacArt on a deserted Island of the Cay Sal Bank. The young man sails back to Coconut Grove, a village on Miami's Biscayne Bay, to report the death to the family attorney. Unaware that he's heir to a substantial fortune, Cory sets out on his great-grandfather's old ketch, now his, to make his way in the world. On a far-off island, he meets a British girl, Ann Lacy and the two are immediately drawn to each other, only to be separated for a time, due to an unfortunate accident. This is a gentle but exiting story that introduces the reader to the Bahamas and Caribbean before they were developed. A Change of Times is a sea story, and a story of love. It is one of innocence and is above all one of life's adventure, joined by two splendid young people, in a place, a magical part of the world that has long since changed. Come back in time and experience the world of Cory and Ann. A mix of cultures, of island folk, of sunken treasures, and that mysterious and confusing maze of joy and pain on the journey into adulthood.
