Publisher's Synopsis
Surrounded by the Caribbean Sea and the Atlantic Ocean, after Cuba, Haiti represents the largest island of the Greater Antilles. If she recently made headlines because of natural disasters, political instability, insecurity and their consequences, there was a time when the first independent black republic of America set the tone in many areas. Haiti remains a country rich in culture with a blend of Creole, French, African and even American traditions. It is well known for its perpetual summer, its flora and fauna pristine, its fascinating natural attractions, its variety of unique plants, its abundant vegetation, exceptional scenery and exotic fruits. It is in this paradise island, in the early 1970's - marked by the death of Francois Duvalier and Jean Claude Duvalier ascension as president for life - that two teenagers Nancy De la Fleur and Jean-Paul Leclair met on a beautiful summer day and fell madly in love with each other. Circumstances and life events stood staunchly against this sample of love. The opposition of the parents of Nancy, their tragic death, the separation of these two young hearts unexpectedly for ten years, Nancy's marriage with another man, the professional success of Jean-Paul, illnesses, loneliness, nostalgia ...are these going to suppress the intense flames, curb their impulses, or rekindle their passion? When finally the two meet in a different country (USA), by a strange coincidence and precarious circumstances, will it be too late in a world too old? It is this struggle between love and a series of fortuitous events that we follow through the pages of this book: THE EDGE OF LOVE. Dr. Jean Daniel Francois invites you to share with him the outcome of this saga of thrilling interest.
