Hog Hammock, located on Georgia's Sapelo Island, is only accessible by ferry or private boat. It is one of the last island-based Gullah-Geechee communities in America--a living connection to West African languages, folkways, and spiritual traditions. With its dirt roads and tin-roofed houses, Hog Hammock is the site of a social hall, two historic Baptist churches, and a former schoolhouse, all built by descendants of slaves. The nearby Behavior Cemetery has burial sites that date back 200 years. Much has been written about the people of Hog Hammock and Sapelo Island, mostly documenting their lives as slaves and then as landowning free people working for millionaires who reshaped Sapelo Island into their own personal retreats. But there is another part of the island's story, one filled with entrepreneurs, skilled craftsmen, and community leaders, that is told here in Images of America: Sapelo Island's Hog Hammock.

Julie Madera hates to look in the mirror and cannot remember the last time she felt sexy. A difficult divorce, the demands of single motherhood, and a challenging career at a prestigious San Francisco hotel have taken a toll on her once fit body. But when her employer asks her to travel to Kauai on a special assignment, she seizes the opportunity, thinking it will be the ideal place to lose weight, tone her body, and maybe-just maybe-find the man of her dreams. Free-spirited Kent loves to tend to his Kauai garden-naked-after an exhausting day of surfing. When the writer and part-time driver picks Julie up from the Kauai Airport, she cannot help but notice his bronzed body and air of self-confidence. But just as her island adventure takes off and the physical chemistry with Kent builds to a frenzy, she discovers he is not who he seems. Now she has to decide if the relationship is worth a confirmation, and if not, whether she can afford to lose him forever. In this contemporary romance tale, a woman takes a journey of transformation and seduction in a tropical paradise where she is about to learn that perfection is not nearly as important as taking control of her own destiny. Follow Judy Burnham as she unfolds a few surprises along the way in this romantic, Hawaiian adventure.
