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.

I was almost asleep when I heard a new sound, one that instantly made my heart rate increase and my muscles tense. Outside the window right next to my bed I heard quiet footfalls and a rustling sound. And then I heard singing. "Miss Peachay, I want to talk to you," sang a heavily accented male voice. "Miss Peachay, I want to talk to you..." I froze in my bed, the throb of panic in my chest, breathing shallowly. A different voice came closer, nearly in my ear, just speaking this time, softly, enticingly. "Miss Peachay, do you want to go to shungle with me?" Go? To the jungle? I lay in my bed, petrified. I was about to announce that I had no intention of talking to them or going to the 'shungle' with them when I heard another voice. A deep, resonant Scottish brogue, hearty, confident, and calm, speaking fluent Marshallese...SARAH CARRELL was inspired by her first-hand experience teaching in the Marshall Islands in the 90s.

Object Lessons is a series of short, beautifully designed books about the hidden lives of ordinary things. Darwin called the Galápagos archipelago “a little world within itself,” unaffected by humans and set on its own evolutionary path – strange, diverse, and unique. Islands are repositories of unique cultures and ways of living, seed banks built up in relative isolation. Island is an archipelago of ideas, drawing from research and first-hand experience living, working, and traveling to islands as far afield as Madeira and Cape Verde, Orkney and Svalbard, the Aran Islands and the Gulf Islands, Hong Kong and Manhattan. Islands have long been viewed as both paradise and prison – we project onto them our deepest desires for freedom and escape, but also our greatest fears of forced isolation. This book asks: what can islands teach us about living sustainably, being alone or coexisting with others, coping with uncertainty, and making do? Island explores these and other questions and ideas, but is constructed above all from the stories and experiences gathered during a lifetime of island hopping. Object Lessons is published in partnership with an essay series in The Atlantic.
