Based on Sarah Carrell's first-hand experience teaching in the Marshall Islands in the 90s, Island Fever is part cultural memoir and love letter to the islands, part sweet-hearted love story. Carlie Beecher, a spunky American nurse practitioner with a penchant for putting her foot in her mouth, leaves her fiance in the states on the hunt for adventure, volunteering for a term on a tiny atoll in the Marshall Islands. Carlie is lucky to find a friend in fellow volunteer and local school teacher Campbell MacReid, who has fled from his native Scotland to escape his heartbreaking history and youthful mistakes. His kindness and strength help Carlie through culture shock; does she have anything to offer him in return? REVIEWS If you want a feel-good story that introduces you to an unfamiliar and exotic locale, you've got to read Island Fever. Carlie Beecher is an open book, and Campbell MacReid is a darling friend. Awkward situations abound, and there are a few stressful moments, but at the heart this is a book that will leave you believing in soul mates and in true love. I have never been to the Marshall Islands, but this book brings Arno to life. It was a pleasure to spend time with Campbell and Carlie who are sexy, funny and sweet from the get-go. It's an addictive, charming love story in a wonderfully unique setting! This is a sweet, funny, sexy love story wrapped up in the fascinating backdrop of a different culture, people, and place. I enjoyed every minute of watching this relationship unfold in this captivating location.

Island Fever chronicles a lifetime of adventure from a casual South Florida of the early 1930s to a Bahamian Island retirement almost eighty years later, with exciting and amusing stops along the way. Charlie Pfluger describes his life journey, including his stint in the US Air Force in the Philippines and North Africa during the Korean War. After his tour of duty, he assumed station manager duties for Pan American Airways in the Caribbean and South America, moved on to hotel management in the Bahamian Out Islands, and had other assorted misadventures, professional and otherwise. He was blessed with a caring mother, and he had the good fortune, through no special thought or planning, to have three talented sons-Tom, an architect; Paul, an orthopedic surgeon; and Chris, a real estate manager. They are all educated and married with wonderful wives, and have provided Charlie with several lovely grandchildren. Good fortune also smiled with three wonderful step-daughters and their families, who he cherishes as his own. His has been an incredible life. Sometimes it was fun; sometimes it was disappointing-but all in all, it was an amazing ride!

“A Ranger, a pilot, and a doctor walk into a bar...” That was pretty much my life in Hawai'i until my two brothers got married. Now I’m the last man standing. Not a problem. With an 8-pack and a Bronze Star, I’m not exactly lacking company in my waterfront condo on Mauna Kea Beach.

So why am I playing tour guide for her... and discovering just how tempting she looks when the turquoise water of Kealakekua Bay soaks her too-skimpy suit? She’s the best friend of my sister-in-law.

"On the eve of the twentieth century, Mary Mallon emigrated from Ireland at age fifteen to make her way in New York City. Brave, headstrong, and dreaming of being a cook, she fought to climb up from the lowest rung of the domestic-service ladder. Canny and enterprising, she worked her way to the kitchen, and discovered in herself the true talent of a chef. Sought after by New York aristocracy, and with an independence rare for a woman of the time, she seemed to have achieved the life she'd aimed for when she arrived in Castle Garden. Then one determined 'medical engineer' noticed that she left a trail of disease wherever she cooked, and identified her as an 'asymptomatic carrier' of Typhoid Fever. With this seemingly preposterous theory, he made Mallon a hunted woman."--
