The Sun, The Snow, The Sea: A love story of the Americas (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781418435455)

They meet in Houston, Texas: and Robert, a Canadian, proposes marriage to Ellen, a Triniadadian. This, on the first day of meeting! She realizes that he is rebounding from great sorrow and makes him promise to wait until her parents meet him before they decide. Will Ellen, confident, educated, independent-minded woman, accept marriage and its restricting bonds? Will she be giving up too much if she marries him? She is charmed by his gesture, but is she in love with him? In the meantime, he is under threat. He must survive the murderous intents of his extended clan in Texas whose property arrangements he upsets simply by being. His mother dreams of blonde grand-daughters, not brown and blended ones, and schemes to change her son's plans. Ellen's parents are concerned that he is simply looking for a girl of the islands to have a good time with, and cast off the way history has always done them. Set against a background of Toronto, Texas' sun and the sparkling blue waters of Trinidad, this international love story makes you believe again in love's transforming grace, as Robert discovers not only the island, and his island girl, but the depths of his own soul.
