Chaos to Serenity Martha Crikelair Wohlford

Staniel Cay is a small Bahamas island in the middle of the Exuma chain, where neither the temperature nor population rarely rises above 100. A mere dot on the map, it is one of the best kept secrets in the travel industry. There is no bank, no ATM, no super department store, no big hotel. A rental car is a golf cart. There is incredibly clear water, world-class snorkeling, diving and fishing, deserted beaches and a friendly native village. The author has a 40 year association with the island, and Chaos to Serenity is a collection of stories that includes its history, the author's personal experiences, island life and trivia. The book weaves local culture into the fabric of everyday life, with a little insanity thrown in for reality. Anyone who has visited the island will enjoy and relate to the various tales. Anyone who hasn't will probably make reservations. Serenity is the name of the author's island home and cottage.
