Wisdom Island

By Lyn Smith-Gloria

Paddle along with a twenty-six year old woman as she navigates the watery new world of the future with strength, humor, good sense, and a kayak. Her home is Wisdom Island, one hundred years after a catastrophy wipes out most of the world's population, and life is pretty good: there is no pollution, lot's of open space, and plenty of resources to go around. But even utopia isn't perfect. Avalon Blake has an over-protective dad, a mom with high expectations, and too many relatives minding her business. She's working in the family shop, slowly chipping away at a college degree, and trying to be a good person. Her biggest problem is a tire shortage forcing her beloved moped to lay idle. Then a charming stranger walks into her life, and her carefully laid plans take a turn onto the wild side. He shows her the Outlands, the uninhabited world around them, and in the process expands her understanding of the complexity of humanity, and the meaning of life. A clever, not too serious, tale of people doing their best and getting it right most of the time, Wisdom Island is filled with warmth, emotional depth, humor, and . . . wisdom.
