The Island (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798193988663)

Two families. One remote island. Everything they believe about each other is about to be tested.

After fleeing violence, Kwame and Adaeze Osei and their children build a fragile but thriving life on an isolated island. Months later, Richard and Eleanor Whitfield and their family wash ashore following a disaster at sea.

Survival should bring them together. Instead, fear, distrust and deeply rooted prejudice stand between them. But as the families begin sharing food, knowledge and responsibility, their children form bonds that see beyond every barrier the adults have carried with them.

When danger strikes, both families must decide whether the differences separating them matter more than the lives they can build together.

The Island is a moving, character-driven novel about survival, family, prejudice, acceptance and the courage to see another person clearly.
