Book Overview

The island of Bermuda is known for its beauty. Rich blue ocean, pink sandy beaches, pastel-colored houses, immaculate streets and friendly people. However even perfection has its dark sides.

The Other Side of Paradise evolves around a teenage girl named Sunny who lives in the rough shadowy parts of Bermuda. Her single mother struggles with a drug addiction. Sunny however, is determined to rise above this lifestyle. During Sunny's quest to discover and understand herself, she falls into a tumultuous life altering affair with an older man, a lawyer, who is linked to her mothers past.
