Single, thirty-seven-year-old Kate Lindstrom of Connecticut wishes, or better yet, prays, to fill the void in her routine, if somewhat stagnant life. Enter a forty-three-year-old shopkeeper from Nantucket named Tim O'Malley, who just may be the answer to Kate's prayers, whether she likes it or not Agreeing on a strictly, platonic relationship from the get go, their friendship, nevertheless, takes them on a journey of the heart and soul, as they embark on adventures together, both great and small; discovering along the way that hope, faith, and love just might still exist in the modern world after all A fairy tale set in contemporary times on the island "that time forgot", ON A FARAWAY ISLE - BEYOND THE BLUE is a story in the style of novels a century ago, written in modern prose but with the flavor and scope of such beloved works as Louisa May Alcott's LITTLE WOMEN and Lucy Maud Montgomery's ANNE OF GREEN GABLES. This modern day tale reaches out to readers hungry for fairy tales in modern times, tapping into the disillusioned among us, yet, those who secretly yearn to dream again; a story for all who still hold some glimmer of hope, some flame of its existence, alive within hearts gone cold Finally, this book is for the lost, disenchanted souls who need and want to believe in love again, even in this impossibly jaded, cynical world, and in a time when most have given up on fairy tales; it is for all who wish their lives would take them to "a faraway isle beyond the blue."
